Have been taking Strattera 80mg for 1 month, along with 50 mg lamotrigine (lamictal) for long-term major, treatment resistand depression. Noticed a strong positive initial response to the Strattera (at that time the lamictal was only a small starter dose). Am taking the 80 mg Str. in the AM. Lately, feel that the effect is waning, though I'm still definitely less depressedx and more alert than when I started. See my NP tomorrow, and after reading others' posts, will suggest my going to 100 mg. Also don't know if the lamictal is really doing anything, though it is supposed to augment the Str. Of course, when you're in a drug combo, there's no sure way to know which is doing what, and/or what the synergistic effects might be. More art than science to psych Rx ? Have experienced urinary retention (swollen prostate?) and some constipation, but otherwise am hopeful about the Strattera. Thanks everyone for the posts. Regards, sailorman.
