I just started on Strattera this week, so I don't know what its long-term effects will be. It's like a "new-generation" TCA in its mechanism, giving a pure NE-reuptake inhibition effect and has no anticholinergic effects to worry about. And it's a lot more simple in terms of its metabolism than nortriptyline so presumably its effects should be more predictable. Maybe you could try this instead (at a very low dose to begin with) to see if you prefer an NE-active drug over the serotonin ones?
