In reply to Strattera for anxiety, posted by annelyse on November 6, 2008, at 12:02:07
Straterra was originally developed as an antidepressant. It is a non-stimulant medication for ADHD, so it shouldn't increase anxiety like stimulant meds. What dose did your doctor prescribe?
> Over the past summer I struggled with anxiety very frequently. Recently the anxiety attacks have been less frequent, but when I have them my heart races and I feel like I will vomit at any second, although i never actually do. My doctor prescribed me zoloft but I have been hesitant to take it because of my lack of concentration and motivation in school. I then saw a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with anxiety, depression and ADD. He prescribed me strattera. I am afraid to take strattera because of the vomiting sensation that comes over me when I start to panic. I guess my question is, will strattera really help with my panic attacks as well as my ADD?
