> > Now that you mention it, it was a little bit like Reboxetine, only it actually felt stronger. I don't think either of them are SSRI's, I don't know their classification (maybe Reboxetine, but I don't think Strattera has anything to do with Serotonin, just Dopamine). Like I said, at one point I thought maybe I liked it, but in retrospect it all felt so druggy I'm no sure I want to repeat it. I do remember reading some posts that the se's go away, however, and I may brave it again.

>Hi-
I just read some info on Strattera from Lilly - Strattera is a Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor. It doesn't have any effects with dopamine as far as I can understand. It's more like Reboxetine than anything.
