Well, I just spoke with my pdoc, she said her Lilly Rep. will be in tomorrow, and she is going to let her know. She said she agrees that I should stay off the Strattera. I have an appointment coming up soon, she said we would discuss other options, like stimulants. She said she has had great success with her patients and Adderall. She told me to continue with the Lexapro for now. She said Strattera is just so new right now, and I'm not the first complaint of allergic reactions on Strattera at their office. She thinks it would just be risky for me to even wait for a while and start at a lower dose. I had mentioned that possibility to her. So I guess it will be stimulants for me.
