> I just started with him, and he is young, fresh and trained with the best, so hopefully he's more open-minded and less fed up with patient input than some long-practicing docs become in time.
My doc is older, and seems very open minded. More concerned with how something did or didn't work for me, than how it's supposed to work. If I experiment a little, he doesn't seem to mind. I'm pretty saavy about my healthcare though, so maybe that comes through, and I'm definitely not an addictive type.

Good luck with that!>
All made me depressed, but it was a different kind than now with the Strattera, it was a pacing, kind of hostile, "mobile" depression (rather than paralyzed, hopeless, stare-at-ceiling type).That is just so weird. I guess your doc knows about all of that, and how you were affected. Did he have any ideas as to why? I'm really curious! When I took too much Adderall, the depression was a black hole, no hope, suicidal thing. When I took Strattera the depression was feeling minorly sad, and suicidal thoughts just popping into my head out of the blue. Weird. Fortunately, that's all gone now, and the meds seem to be fine. I hope you get to that place too, and do keep me posted, I look forward to hearing how it goes, and what the doc says.
