I don't know anything about the medications you asked about.

I've been diagnosed with Add/inattentive (no hyperactivity) and dysthymia. Although I tried Strattera for Add, I now take it for anxiety. I didn't realize how much anxiety I had until it was gone. Others knew, especially a therapist. (Mine has not been so bad that my stomach or back hurt, though.) Norepinephrine can reduce anxiety in some people. I've seen others posting about the same anti-anxiety results from Strattera. They took it for Add, but got a great benefit in reduced anxiety.

One other drug my doctor talked about recently was a TCA–desipramine. It's also a norepinephrine drug. It has a good record for Add.

I understand your pain. Here's hoping for some relief for you.
