Interesting... Strattera seemed to help me at first with focus and depression, but it completely destroyed my appetite. I had no interest whatsoever in food, became extremely dehydrated as well, and (strangely) began slurring my words (suggestive of cerebellum damage). All of these side effects stopped within a few days of discontinuing it (except the speech difficulties, which took a bit longer to subside). I liked it at first, but the benefits quickly diminished while the side effects just got worse.

Scary drug for me, but maybe good for others? My pdoc wanted me off it immediately when I told him this (although he was amenable to a taper schedule if necessary), and I had no trouble at all with sudden discontinuation after about 6 months (max dose 80 mg).
