“I've tried the traditional ADHD meds like Strattera and Guanfacine, and they don't offer any improvement.”

“I take both Adderall and Strattera (non-stimulant ADHD medication) and the combo is quite powerful. Strattera is a very sustained focus.”

“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.”

“I am about a month in to trying Strattera and it has helped the most...with the overwhelming and stressed out feelings.”

“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)”

“I did take Atomoxetine for maybe 8 months and did notice a significant increase in memory recall both short and long term...Atomoxetine was better. I stopped taking it because I felt kind of sluggish.”

“Holy shit, this stuff is *way* stronger than coffee. I feel really great, energetic, and very positive and happy.”

“yerba maté - All this stuff makes me feel weird now, especially when it starts to wear off”

“The first 2 months were amazing. No thinking before every word. I just reacted, talked, did things. Pleasure. I could enjoy games, sunrises, weather. Anxiety gone. Woke up with energy no exhaustion.”

“Zoloft changed everything. It gave me what felt like superpowers: hard erections and the ability to last up to an hour.”

“a low dose of zoloft (50mg) has done wonders for my anxiety and ruminating thoughts. I feel more emotionally balanced.”

“I'm meant to be on 75mg of zoloft but I only take 50mg because 75 causes migraines. ... the zoloft helped my panic disorder and ocd but if anything made my depression worse.”

“I was feeling very happy on it, like the opposite of depression, it was great. Buuuuuuut it was death for my sex life.”
