That sounds about right. My experience with Strattera was about the same. This is one drug that seems to be effective specifically for treating ADD and relatively ineffective for treating depressive disorders. I have seen Strattera work very well for adult ADD, including the depressive symptoms that often accompany it.Have you tried desipramine? It is a very different drug than Strattera, even though, like desipramine, it is a selective NE reuptake inhibitor. Sometimes, people respond to desipramine who don't respond to nortriptyline.
