Hi
I've been on Strattera for 3 months. I, too, take it for energy because of Depression. I have found that taking Strattera and Provigil together is MUCH better than either of them individually (of course, this is all with a bunch of other meds...). I take 80mg Strattera and 200mg Provigil.
I take my Strattera in the morning because it kept me awake at night. We're all different.
I haven't noticed any hair loss, though I did have some with Depakote in the past.
I haven't lost weight, but I haven't gained any either (and I eat lots of chocolate...). I keep thinking that if I start getting some exercise that I might lose a little.
Strattera and Provigil have been really important for me. I can do 5 times as much in a day with them, and I think it is still increasing.
One more selling point, I am Much less suicidal than before the Straterra/Provigil. That, in itself, might make them worthwhile.
Good Luck!
I hope you find your magic meds!
