> in addition, i felt less likely to say stupid things on the strattera. i am typically absent minded that way... so an important benefit in my case, but still, it's a lot of money (i'm on disability) for something that didn't help me function externally and when the heightened awareness effect wasn't always palpable. more positives i should record:

Yes.

I didn't know that.

Tell me about it!

Hang in there. Keep using your mind as much as your condition allows. I frequently tell people that I use all of what little God gives me to work with. I know you are impaired and anergic. It can be discouraging. I hope you and your doctor continue to search for alternatives. Thinking "outside the box" might be necesssary.

Good Luck.
