For ADHD "I've been on Strattera for 5 days now, 40 mg in the morning and 200 mg of Wellbutrin SR 2x a day for depression. So far, I think for me it's been good. Only side effects are tiredness during the day, headaches, and loss of appetite. I believe the worst of the side effects happen in the first month of use, so I'd like to try 80 mg in a month to see how I do on that amount. More irritable at times throughout the day, but since I know that can be a side effect, I try to control my mood when I notice it becoming bad. I've not taken it on its own, so I don't know if that's why I am doing good on it, Wellbutrin and Strattera together, but so far so good."

For ADHD "I was diagnosed at the age of 4 years old, and I was put on Adderall at like 5 or 6 years old, but it did make me addicted to Adderall for a very long time. That history follows you to adulthood, and doctors like to look at you as an addict. They prescribed me Strattera, and it did wonders for me on the first day, I was in a better mood, and my brain didn't feel like it was on edge all the time. I took it for 6 weeks, then, when my appointment came up, I had to reschedule, so I was out of my medicine for like 4 days. I will tell you what, I was miserable and irritable. My face broke out bad, on top of that, I have four kids, and everything they did was bothering me. I do like what it does for me when I'm on it, but I couldn't handle the effects when I wasn't on it, so be careful and make sure to get refills as soon as possible."
