Yup.
I have taken Strattera (atomoxetine) 80 mg q day for 7 years this January. No SE except for on startup and it is still effective and completely tolerable.
In fact, I could say it became more effective over time, BUT that probably does not take into account the huge positive impact of good therapy and other coping skills I gained through life changes (better sleep, richer spiritual life). All working together *with* the Strat I have had an excellent experience with this med.
I think I have been in the minority on Babble with this med, unfortunately for others who hoped it would work for them. i know I am VERY fortunate. A combo of methyphenidate/Prozac helped my ADD initially, but the Strattera is smoother and w/o any cardiovascular concerns (I have HTN.)
Search archives and there are several other threads on Strattera over the past few years.
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
Meds: Strattera 80 mg q day
