McKell, thanks so much for the detailed info on your experience getting treated for ADHD. I was wondering about whether going to the GP after I go to my T is a good idea, since it sounds like the GPs can't really help. I will approach my T first . If he thinks I might have ADD, wouldn't he give me a referral to a doctor (pdoc or neurologist?) who could help instead of making me go first to a GP who couldn't help? I'm just not sure how it works as I have never been to a pdoc, but my previous therapist did give me a direct referral to a pdoc at one time (although I didn't use it). I would love to be able to skip "the middle man" GP and go straight to someone who can help me.

I will look later today for a good systematic review or RCT for you to use. I had two separate RCT articles that each showed Strattera and Adderall to effective in treating ADHD. However the success overall success rate and % of symptom reduction in the Adderall study was much higher than the Strattera.

Yes, I agree, "abnormal orgasms" sound scary!

Thanks again for all your great info.
