Depression, crying spells, and melancholy are reported *often* with Straterra use. For many it does not improve over time. Medications can be mind games at times, because you don't really know whats good enough to stick with.
These side effects are serious however, and in my mind justify its discontinueation.
There is a significant interplay between emotions and cognition. Ie if you're sad, melencholic, and weepey, then theres only so far this med can go to help your concentration.
I think you've made the right choice. There are other options.
