Strattera actually makes me feel pretty mellow. Wellbutrin, on the other hand, caused bizarre outbursts of anger (totally uncharacteristic for me). Funny how differently these meds can affect different people.
I haven't used Ritalin, but I do take Strattera along with low-dose Adderall (and Klonopin). It seems like a good mix.
Strattera certainly won't be right for everyone, but the big thing (and my pdoc agrees strongly with this, given his experience with many other patients) is that you need to increase the dose gradually. Otherwise, the side effects can be intolerable, and could scare you off a drug that might otherwise be helpful.
