it is doubly irresponsible of him to retry it when this was not merely the 2nd time I had done so. I had used it in Oct. or Nov. when on a subtherapeutic dose of Ritalin and it induced dysphoria then, too, which was why I stopped it (I can deal with stomach pain, but not sustained dysphoria and increased fatigue). It was notable that this time when I retried it it was purely out of trust in him, as there is no pharmacological evidence that it is superior to TCA's in terms of efficacy or tolerability (I had brought up desipramine and he maintained Strattera was better for ADD. I do not believe Lilly has conducted trials against desipramine so how could he say this? Also I am sure desipramine would not induce this kind of dysphoric reaction.)
