My psych wants to take me off Strattera because it isn’t helping my ADHD and apparently it’s quite expensive.
One thing it is helping me with though is my anxiety – I no longer get the random bouts of anxiety that I used to and I feel like I’m just generally more chill and enjoying the present moment.
What’s more, I can actively feel the Strattera keeping me calm at times when my brain would have panicked before, like when approaching girls.
Do you know if other anti-anxiety meds my psych is likely to give me will have this same effect, or should I urge him to keep me on Strattera?

    I’m new on Straterra. Just 40 mg daily so far. It seems like exactly what I need. I used to take Vyvanse, then Dexedrine, but things went off the rails… aka I couldn’t control the intake properly. I abused them for a lengthy period of time.

    This stuff has zero recreational value. I’m grateful. Hopefully it continues showing good results. 🤞
