I have been treated for depression and general anxiety disorder for the last 20 years (I'm 52) and have FINALLY been given the diagnosis of ADD with some Hyperactivity. (which I believe is my core issue and has been all along) I've been on AD's for a long time...currently on 150 mg Wellbutrin SR (bupropion)and although it may help with my depression I STILL have all of the loveliness (NOT)of the negative effects of ADD -lincluding the anxiety. (Believe it or not I LIKE some of my ADDness)So finally after doing the DSM-IV question/answer test with my T I went to my Primary doc and on her recommendation he has prescribed Strattera 40 mg to start. I have been told that I have to take it first thing in the morning - no variation. Now I KNOW it is not really a good idea (sometimes) to get feedback beforehand because it can plant negative seeds in the brain and "create" side effects that may not have come to fruition otherwise. On the other hand I am hoping that I get some positive information as well. so there it is....
Thanks,
Toots
