I was prescribed Strattera for my adult ADHD, but after reading up on this drug I'm not so sure I want to take it. I'm looking for any Strattera experiences you may have, as well as general advice on the whole tweaking psych meds thing.

My husband seems to have adult ADHD, and it seems to be getting worse as he gets older. He's been to a psychiatrist who has diagnosed him with ADHD and put him on both Adderall and Concerta. Adderall works very well for him, but it gives him serious heart problems (cold extremities, irregular heart rate, a sense of panic). Concerta, on the other hand, gives him a bad stomach and doesn't do anything for his concentration. What are people's experiences with non-stimulant ADHD medications, like Strattera?

I've been more-or-less diagnosed with adult ADHD at 33. My psychiatrist said that, if I weren't "too smart," it would be an easy to say I've got ADHD. My psychiatrist wants to medicate and my therapist won't comment.

What are your experiences with St. John's wort? In particular, have you ever taken it at the same time as ADHD medications like Ritalin/Focalin (methylphenidate), Adderall (amphetamine) etc?

Two questions about ADD medication, especially Adderall: 1) How dangerous is it (for me)? 2) Can it be taken "as needed"?
