blueberry,
I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I will most certainly take it into consideration.
Per what you said, I too get the feeling that the doctor basically wanted me out of the office, and the bill to my insurance company in the mail.
I think he may have felt more secure prescribing the less volatile strattera because there is less likelihood of abuse.
He also mentioned that we were going to try Strattera for 30 days, and if I still felt the need for further treatment he was going to refer me to a psychiatrist. Although to his credit, I feel he did his job albeit the bare minimum.
As far as side affects go, just like you said the side effects of Strattera are noticeable. Have you experienced any with Adderall?
As far as Strattera taking weeks to kick in, that wasn't my experience. I was experiencing the affects, and more notably the side affects of Strattera the very same day that I had taken the medication. I do consider my self very drug sensitive. For instance I can not have any caffeine after 3 PM or I will have trouble sleeping the night after.
