I do need to add in fairness that Strattera is more effective for ADD than nortriptyline, though maybe not desipramine or lofepramine. I would be interested in a study that compared Strattera to either of these drugs, but Lilly probably has little incentive to do so. And the pharmaceutical industry is tied to the patent laws, not to optimizing treatment either financially or medically. This also slows the acquisition of knowledge about these disorders, but industry is not science.
