Plenty of ADHDers like myself would cringe at the thought of not having their stimulants. Drug/Med, it makes no difference what you call it as long as it helps. Dexedrine has a complex mechanism of action and not only helps with attentional problems, but can help with mood and obsessions. All drugs have their place, even PCP.

What are you taking the Straterra for?
>Wouldn't prozac be easier to taper (though longer) that pristiq in the event that the clinic gives me a green light for an MAOI?
There should be no difference in taper strategy.
