I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like Strattera completely changed their adhd for the better.
Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

Straterra didn’t do shit other than make my libido nonexistent. Ritalin has worked well for me. I know people who felt like they were in hell while on Ritalin. A lot of it is trial and error since all bodies process them differently.
I will say, there are genetic tests you can take to see which medications are tolerated well by your body. I took one and surprise surprise, I had the markers for straterra not being well tolerated. Also if you have other family members who have ADHD and are on medication it’s a good idea to ask them since your genetics will be somewhat similar.
You can say that again! For me, irritability and nausea too. It just wasn’t a good fit and I only figured it out on higher doses.
Hah, that’s Cipralex for me. Works wonders for the anxiety for me, but it really kills sex drive.
Most SSRIs will. And don’t expect it to come back, either…
Yeah… I’m a total mess without, almost as dramatic a difference as the ADHD meds, but it’s just insane how much.
What else did you learn from it re:medication sensitivities?
