In reply to How good is Strattera for depression?, posted by SLS on May 13, 2003, at 15:05:19
I found that Strattera had a modest mood lift and made less irritable. Unfortunately, it actually gave me brain fog if you can believe it. It also made me tired intermittently and then sleep disruption throughout the night. Heart palpitations were also a problem. I tried it for about three weeks at low doses and although, some of the adverse effects seemed to lighten up, I still wasn't satisfied.
Since I'm pretty sensitive to most meds my reporting should really be taken with a grain of salt. But overall, I was really disappointed in it. I'm hoping duloxetine will fair better.
