In reply to Do You Think Strattera Will Take Over Stim Use?, posted by MB on July 10, 2003, at 10:58:54
I think the drug co. that makes Strattera would like it to replace stimulants, but (and my pdoc agrees) the best combination for many is Strattera plus a pstim. I take it along with Adderall, and the two work well together. So, for now at least, I'm staying on both. Strattera had an immediate calming/focusing effect for me (even though it's supposed to take a while to kick in) but then this is typical for me -- generally I can tell within a few days whether a med is appropriate for me or not. The ones that have been bad stayed bad no matter how long I used them, and the ones that work well did so from the start.
