Straterra vs Adderall XR
I was taking Adderall XR 30mg twice a day and my doctor switched me to
STRATTERA
60mg a day. The XR's were working great for me and im afraid it isnt going to work the same.

Could ADHD drugs ultimately harm children’s brains?
She took
Strattera
for nearly 2 years but it lost effectiveness. She just tried Vyvanse again (which she briefly tried age 13 but stopped due to anxiety). So age 17 she tried Vyvanse 20mg, 30mg and 40 mg. None worked at all.

Can anyone recommend jobs that would be appropriate for someone with Inattentive ADHD?
There are medications such as Ritalin and
Strattera
, both of which I have tried. In Massachusetts, there is a center devoted to helping people with ADD/ADHD. I have been there. And of course there are books. The most recent ADHD book that I read blamed the disability on bad parenting i.e.

I’ve run out of strength....
About 15 years ago I tried
Strattera
for the first time and it changed my life. Gone were the issues with organization, the mental blocks that disabled me from getting my thesis complete (as I was History major in college seriously thinking about going to law school).

Strattera Side Effects like Stimulant problems.
Hello, now they put me on Straterra and it’s also giving me massive headaches just like the stimulant did. Is there a non stimulant that doesn’t give headache of doom, mouth that tastes filmy, and weird spasms in legs? This is driving me crazy, making it worse.

Teenage Son Bad Side Effects Meds
He met with the doctor and decided to try
Strattera
but read the side effects pamphlet from the pharmacy and now refuses to take the new meds as the side effects appear to be a he same as Vysvane. He is barely passing his Grade 11 classes and is extremely difficult at home.

strattera
for the summer and his behavior is out of control, the anger and hitting is so bad right now I want to take him off but the doc decided to double it to 18 mg and it's been two days no improvement.

The drugs he should be taking the metabolize correctly are Dixedrine, Adderall XR, Vyvanse and for non psychostimulants
Strattera
or Intuniv. Now I am not sure what drug to pick for him. I have heard of Adderall but I am not sure he should have a stimulant or go with non-stimulant.

Just an update
We are getting a EKG this week to make sure there isn't a heart issue we've been unaware of, and in the event that his heart is fine, our ped recommends steering away from the stimulants and trying
Strattera
. I'm cautiously optimistic.

College Sophomore with ADD
He is on
Strattera
, 30 mg daily, but he says it isn't helping much anymore. He has bad sleep issues, getting to sleep and waking up on time are difficult. I have not had him tested for food allergies, and would like to, but not sure who/what tests we can trust.

Newly diagnosed , looking for support and advice
I guess what I'm looking for is just some pointers on how to study, stay motivated and not get discouraged , I do take
strattera
for the ADHD as needed.

Medication Success with anxiety?
Our daughter has been on Adderall for ADHD until this week when her Dr made the decision to switch it to
Strattera
due to the stimulant making her ticks and behavior worse.
