In reply to Straterra approval., posted by scoper on December 28, 2002, at 2:19:34
It's been approved, and is due out in the next few weeks (January).
I'm quite interested in this one. Adderall works well for me for ADD, but its highly controlled status is inconvenient. I discussed Straterra (atomoxetine) with my psychiatrist the other day. He's fairly cautious, and often waits a while when a new drug comes out before prescribing it, just in case anything unexpected pops up. With atomoxetine, though, he says the preliminary data and side effect profile look very favorable and convincing -- apparently he's been following its development quite closely and is eager to see how it works in some of his patients. So, I'll probably try it out pretty soon.
I'm looking forward to reports from others here.
