I've posted about this recently here, so I won't go into great detail, but my experience seems to mirror that of fallfalls. Strattera is a very good med for me so far (I've only been taking it for 3 1/2 weeks). I take it with Adderall and Klonopin, and it really helps with focus and mood.
I agree about increasing the dose gradually -- I started at 25 mg and when I went to 40 I had some mild side effects (nausea etc.), but those were gone within a week. Now 50-60 mg seems about right. I'd strongly suggest you give it a try, but just be cautious with the dosing at first, and don't be discouraged by initial side effects unless you really react badly. I find it a very helpful med.
Good luck!
