> Straterra is a failed AD; it failed depression trials, someone tried it for adhd. I dont know why your doc would try it if you have anxiety; it tends to increase anxiety even if you don't have a pre-existing problem w/ anxiety.

> I disliked it.My doc prescribed it because he though it might help give me more focus.I have terrible focus and can only seem to focus on the negitives. Also,he said it had some anti depressant properties that might be helpful.I must say though,I am on day 8 with Strattera 30mg, and do not feel as stimulated, but I do feel like my thoughts are worse, more depressed/anxiety.It feels like it is shutting my mind down.Maybe I was to hopeful that I might get a little help from it.I think I will take 40mg in a couple days.I am curious if it might get better at higher doses.I would really like to feel more positive brain stimulation.The kind that puts a smile on a persons face.....Anyway,thanks for your imput...
