Pamelor has been very helpful in reducing anxiety, depression, and some ADD symptoms. It's especially good in helping me have a regular sleep schedule and keeping my appetite up even when my mood isn't so good. There are a lot of side effects, but to be honest, they are mostly start-up; when I raise the dose I'm always hit by something (like fatigue or dry mouth), but then I get used to it and the effects go away.

I asked my doctor about what, specifically, the difference would be between Strattera and Pamelor, besides Strattera's being more selective for norepinephrine. He said Strattera might act on dopamine in some way not fully understood yet. How is Strattera working for you? Is it helping your focus and motivation? Have you taken Ritalin or any other ADD meds and if so, how does it compare?
