Positive experiences
“Helps focus / concentration immensely... Seems to improve my memory as well.”
“Currently I am on Strattera and the side effects have subsided so I am only feeling the positives. A lot less stress and anxiety and ADHD is minimal.”

“I tried strattera as well though. It’s better that adderall for me.”
“Strattera is for ADHD; it helps with planning and kicking my ass into gear. I've been able to learn piano songs quicker than usual...I enjoy it.”

Negative and mixed experiences

“I've tried the traditional ADHD meds like Strattera and Guanfacine, and they don't offer any improvement.”
“Strattera made me feel like a zombie, calm but it felt too weird to continue.”
“I took strattera for about 6 months. I can say with complete certainty it was the worst experience of my life...my brain feeling like it was being squeezed at all times. All my friends told me I was basically a zombie.”
“I've been on many medications for inattentive ADHD and none of them have helped me (adderall, straterra, concerta, Dexedrine).”
“I'm very tired when i used strattera and i need sleep aftermoon (side effect)”
