Wellbutrin or Strattera? | ADHD Information

I posted this on the women with adhd board but I should have posted it here.
My doctor gave me a choice of wellbutrin or strattera.  I've been reading about both and it seems like alot of people have sleepiness on strattera...something I DON'T want.  However, my dr feels that wellbutrin may increase anxiety at first.  She won't prescribe stimulants.  I have inattentive ADHD.  Thanks

My daughter has ADHD and anxiety. She cannot take stimulants either. We are taking a tricyclic antidepressant, Desipramine.

I started strattera 4 days ago and only got sleepy the second day because for 2 nights I had disruptive sleep on it. That has already mostly passed. A few cups of camp tea [boiled tea, high caffeine] seem to keep me from being sleepy and cut the nausea if that's any help!

The rest of the time I haven't had it.
