> My doctor at the time thought I might be ADD, I didn't. Didn't realy care if I was or not, didn't think I needed anymore medications. So I tried the strattera and it just made me feel awfull. After that I didn't want to try any other ADD meds. Because they all have problems with addiction. And I seemed to function fairly well with out.
Yes, addiction or at the very least tolerance--which I really try to work to keep my dose low and consistent and not give into impulsive increases. I'll let myself be tired on my regular dose and accept that I'm tired. If strattera was the only ADD med I was on, I don't think it would cut it. Still a little more fuzzy & tired, though anxiety has decreased a bit :-)
I guess many other conditions can mimic ADD's inability to focus.
I hope your current regime is serving you well!
