Strattera did not cause depression in me, but it might for you. I hope not because it works really good.

The rest of the ADHD/ADD meds are stimulants. I was on Adderall and it made me extremely high. It caused the worse case of mania/psychosis/mixed state I've ever been in.

But I have read about others on here that have no problem taking Adderall or Ritalin, etc. So maybe they will work for you.

I would just recommend starting at the lowest dose and slowly moving up if you choose the stimulant route. See how it affects you before you move on.

I hope that you find the medicine that is right for you. Hang in there!
