> Curious as to why you said that you'd try desipramine or nortryptiline before a stimulant like Strattera. Is Strattera significantly different than these 2 tricyclics in terms of stimulation/ADD qualities? I've been curious about this for awhile, just hoping you or someone else could clear it up for me.
