how did you get on high dose strattera with the wellbutrin 300XL? I asked to be switched from wellbutrin to strattera, but my pdoc said they really have similar effects. She said that it wasn't a good idea, but I am interested in strattera.
I read on crazymeds.org {under wellbutrin and strattera} that mixing them could be overkill.
