In reply to Are there any other NRIs besides TCAs/strattera?, posted by TriedEveryMedication on April 21, 2016, at 12:32:18
it looks like mazindol isn't readily available in the US :-(
Are stimulants an option? Provigil, Ritalin, the amphetamines, etc. ? I don't know if a doc would be willing to Rx a diet pill for ongoing ADD/ADHD treatment. I mean, its rational--most are Schedule III and Schedule IV, so you could actually get refills--but I don't know if its common practice, especially with all the advertising dollar$ being pumped into various Schedule II stimulant preparations.Having said that...back when I tried phendimetrazine by Rx (Bontril), it helped about as much as Adderall, with fewer side effects. Its Schedule III, I think...I was taking the 105 capsule in the AM. Phentermine (Adipex, etc.) is more popular, but it made me feel jittery and "off."
Other than that...Wellbutrin, probably at a high dose...I guess you could try an augmentation strategy w/ the Wellbutrin to get it to work better (since you mentioned insomnia, Remeron comes to mind...).
That's about all I have for you :-(
Some supplements are supposed to help w/ attention problems. I would imagine that's usually a last ditch effort.
