hi Ed.
Did you find lofepramine helpful for ADD? It's metabolized to desipramine.
I have a feeling that Strattera, for whatever reason, is more helpful for ADD than any of the TCA's. I'm going on an assumption that desipramine and nortriptyline are more like each other than either is to Strattera. Speaking from personal experience, while there was definite, if slow, improvement from nortriptyline, there was a more drastic and immediate effect from Strattera that helped with concentration.
