I just started taking Strattera for my bipolar problem. I take 18mg in the morning and 2, 450mg tablets of Eskalith (lithium) at night to help me sleep. So far I have lots of energy in the morning and can sleep great at night since the strattera wears down about that time (what goes up must come down). Of course this is my 3rd day so I still have to see how I progress. Tried Wellbutrin but experience nothing but headaches, depression and uncontrollable rage the entire time I took it.

HI, I have just been assessed as having Adult ADHD and am at present, awaiting my appointed meeting with a shrink. So I am not taking any meds, and from what I have been reading, I am not sure I want to. After trying many anti-depressants over the years, to no avail, I am doubtful tha ADHD meds will be of much use. Nonetheless, I relate so well to the "cave chick" comment and find it difficult to function effectively in any way in modern society. I feel so relieved to find it may be because of ADHD, but feel somewhat doubtful that I will be able to find any real relief. Has anyone tried any alternative approaches, and if so, found any relief? I am thinking of trying a naturopath.
