Never heard of this drug, what's the success rate like? I'm looking for a non-stimulant ADD drug because of my anxiety.
Thanks

(already tried Strattera, and Provigil seemed to much like a stimulant to me).

It's a real, effective medication, but with a somewhat lower success rate than stimulants. Definitely worth a try, though, according to the data. Works by agonizing a2a receptors, which lowers the body's supply of norepinephrine generally, but probably has different, more specific effects on certain areas of the brain.
