I also have ADD & Depression and my doc started me on Strattera. I've been on it for a week (first week 40mg) now I'm taking 60mg. I haven't noticed a difference at all. It makes me very sleepy. It has not helped with any of my ADD syptoms. But my doc wants me to at least give it a good try for a month. As soon as I go back to the doc I'm asking for something else! I've taken Ritalin before (years ago) and it worked really well. I think I'll ask for that. Besides Ritalin is cheaper than Strattera too!
