Readyforchange: I got a great response from Wellbutrin after little more than three weeks on it. It affects the same thing Strattera does and also gives you the Adderal, Ritalin advantage without taking a stimulant. I would try that first.
I'm on Strattera because right after I got a great response from Wellbutrin, I got hives on top of hives with hives. So much for my magic bullet.
Strattera is very good, but I have a problem with its sedating effect which doesn't seem to be going away for me. For some others, it has gone away.
I use Effexor, too. The effects of untreated Adhd on your life can create other issues or you can just happen to have other issues. Effexor has helped.
Ask your doctor if a trial of Wellbutrin would be a good idea, since it addresses two issues in one.
My problem, though, is Adhd—not Add. That might make a difference.
