happier, I believe Strattera was originally developed for depression, but in clinical trials it did not have a significant effect for most people. It does help some people with ADHD so that is its main use. Although it may not help most people with depression, it could help some. So if it is working for you, that is great. If it is not working, don't be surprised, tell your prescriber, and move on to something else.
