he was taking notes and said 1 thing that confused me, he said if strattera doesnt work then he wasn't going to diagnose me with ADHD, i guess because he doesnt want to give me Adderal or ritalin?
so what if strattera doesnt work, does that mean i dont have ADHD?
im clean now so why does my past abuse haunt me ... if i was interested in abusing adderall or speed wouldn't i just go out and get them from the streets? or resort to using cocain even?
i hope strattera works for me  |
That's kind of strange. I hope Strattera works for you too. I think statistically it works about half the time. I haven't ever heard of it working better in adults, but I could be wrong, maybe something to do some research into? I guess I thought if you have ADD, you have ADD. Period. Maybe he doesn't want to get into the stimulants, but there are other alternatives to stimulants than just Strattera, so overall, I find that comment kind of odd. Anyway, I hope it works for you. Good luck.
