> Strattera did nothing for me at all. It was like taking a placebo. Dr. hasn't mentioned Ritalin, but put me on Adderral. Adderall alone did nothing at all, so he's added wellbutrin. I feel much better with the wellbutrin, but kinda wish I could switch to ritalin just to see if the "light will come on" as it does for some. So far, just a candle in the distance for me.
To Dazed: I know the feeling of the candle in the distance. I am still trying to find my way too. I guess it is like finding the right anti-depressant in that you have to continue to try the different meds to find the one that works the best (with side effects you can live with) for you. I am trying to be patient and so far so good with the Strattera. It's only been a mere week since starting it but at least I know there are other meds available if one does not work. At least that's what I tell myself. I really wish you great success in finding the right one for you! WE have all been there/still there and all in the same boat so you are NOT ALONE! Keep good communication going with your Dr. I have found that to be very important. Good luck!
