I have to admit that I'm waiting with baited breath for this new Eli Lilly product to be approved. Back when we thought that depression was my primary diagnosis (I'm ADD), the meds that had the greatest effect were (of course) noradrenergic. High dosage Effexor was particularly lovely until the seizures kicked in.Psychostimulants are working nicely for me, but they've never been able to really sweep the cobwebs out like Effexor or Wellbutrin. (I've tried a few other noradrenergic meds as well, but haven't been able to tolerate any and gave up.)
Here's how my highly unscientific fanstasy reasoning is going at the moment: Prozac and I got along fantastically. It lifted my affect and I felt almost great enough to forget about the fact that it wasn't even touching my core ADD symtoms. No significant side effects even at high doses. *Therefore* (and this is my fantasy reasoning again) an SNRI from the makers of Prozac just *has* to work for me, right? Come on, folks, just go with it and humor me... ;)
Seriously, I'm information-starved on this drug; most of the information that I've found on the 'Net is in Japanese, and I gave up on that language after the excitement of learning how to count to ten and swear wore off! <with a big wink to KateKite :) >
So spill! Anyone here actually have experience with this? Or were the trial victims hidden away by Lilly to hide the horrible mutations that it caused?

>I'm currently involved in a drug study of atomoxatine (tomoxatine). The jury is still out, but I'm disappointed. Many of the side effects are very similar to the amphetamine salts that I cannot tolerate. Muscle spasms, twitches, decreased appetite, sleeplessness, decreased sexual desire, seriously decreased sexual performance! (Yikes!) These may go away in time, or require dosage modification. I'll keep you posted. Meantime, would love to hear from others taking this drug. Is it affecting everyone like this? Or is it just me?
