Please describe your experience with Strattera is detail. Dosage, ramping time frames for each MG amount, side effects, total time used, the license of the prescribing doctor, etc.
For anxiety you might want to try 1000 mg of high EPA fish oil daily, and magnesium up to six X your body weight. My husband has ADHD and he finds these supplements calming, although he does not suffer from anxiety. Do you have a therapist?
ramdougalls,
DS 9 doesn't do well on stimulants, b/c his body produces too much adrenaline due to his sensory issues. Stimulants only make it worse. I never tried the non-stimulant, he's been off medication 1.5 years now.
There are tons of studies -and TV programs on Discovery Health- that show the positive and long-term effects on the brain of non-medication approaches like yoga, meditation, pilates, tai-chi, chi-gong, etc.
There are many other non-drug treatments that help anxiety: Berard (listening therapy), exercises like those of INPP.org.uk, etc.
A good Vitamnin B complex helps, as well as high quality Omega 3.
None of this should be taken like medical advice, but I encourage you to look into it. You might find just what you need. Good luck!!
I am a 33 yr old woman who has been trying different med's for the past year. I have 2 small children and am typically a higher stress type of person. I have tried concerta, strattura, and I am now on dexidrine. I feel the concerta worked the best but gives me severe anxiety. The straturra just made me tired and the dexidrine makes me feel like I am on speed.
