Strattera??
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Hi. I've been having ADD my whole life and have been on many different meds for it: Adderall, Dexedrine, Ritalin, etc. However, I have drug abuse in my past and I don't want any of those that have stimulants any more because I actually even abused them. I'm thinking of trying Strattera. Does anyone have any experience with it? Does it work?

" I was on Straterra for about four months and I hated it. It kept me sleepy and in a fog 24/7. However, each person is different so it might work great for you! "
