Hi fido,
Sorry you are having such a low and frustrating time, and that I have no amazing suggestions for you.
I have been on 80 mg. of Strattera for over 10 years now for ADD, so if there is anything specific you want to know about my experience, please just ask. If you search the PB site using my screen name and "strattera," you will find many old threads by me responding to posters who wanted to know what it was like.
For me, it indirectly helped with depression because my ADD symptoms were severe enough at the time to mess up so many parts of my daily life that IMO, this was the root cause of about 85% of my depression, which eased up simultanously with control of the ADD.
I was never suicidal (related to this med) or more anxious. The side effects were quite mild and disappeared in less than 2 weeks.
Take care. -- 10derheart
