Does anyone have any advice as to whether I should stick with this drug for a few more weeks to see if the SNRI aspect of it does any good, or, as I believe, that since I got nothing from the the get-go, I will probably have no benefit from the drug after taking it longer either.

Antonio, Just to let you know, the tics I mention in my posts are not caused by Strattera or any other medication. My dtr already had a tic disorder, and I wondered about Strattera's effect on tics, if any. She she cannot take stimulant medication because it can make tics worse. Good luck!
