I'm coming off of strattera after 6 months. I think it worked in the beginning, but then pooped out. Plus it made my social anxiety worse and just gave me a bleak outlook.
As my moniker implied, I've tried lots and lots of things for ADHD. Stims, Wellbutrin, TCAs, Effexor, pristiq, cymbalta, lamictal, mirtazapine, MAOIs, 4th, 5th, nth line treatments.
I think the thing that worked the best was desipramine, but the sides were truly horrendous - it made me anxious, hateful, angry and depressed. I've never really gone above 75mg, but I figure the sides would just get worse. I don't think it even works for me anymore.
tried combos, like ssris to ameliorate the sides from strattera or desipramine. ugh, that made me so fatigued an nauseated. Abilify + desipramine = weird.
Anyway, is there anything new indicated for ADHD? Maybe some stone left unturned or something?
Thank you.
