My therapist and I think I have Add. My family doctor feels because I have had anxiety in the past have some bi polar. I am not sure I agree. Also he has put me on strattera. I do not have add with the h. He has been my doctor for twenty years. I am nervous about disagreeing with him. I am nervous this may not be the right medicine? Thoughts on people with add who have used this?
Has anyone tried Strattera for ADD, how did you find it?

Thank you. I am so glad your son is better. It sounds as if so much is trial and error people react differently...
