Atomoxetine (Strattera) is much, much safer. Its side effects are very minimal. Adderall is racemic amphetamine mixed with dextroamphetamine. The negative effects of Adderall and other amphetamines can be very devestating, inducing or potentiating severe psychological dependence, weight loss, an array of heart problems , blood pressure problems, psychiatric disorders (aggression, depression, mania, psychosis, paranoia), dental problems, twitching, changes in libido, and probably some other stuff. If you experienced any of these from atomoxetine, they would be very minimal, especially compared to the degree which you would experience them on amphetamines.

What lasts longer Generic Adderall or Adderall XR?
Adderall XR lasts longer. The XR stands for extended release and lasts around 8-12 depending on the consumer, mg, & tolerance. Generic Adderall which is actually Adderall IR (Instant Release) only lasts for a few hours (about 4 depending on the mgs) because Adderall XR is made from 2 different "beads" which one type releases automatically n the other type releases in about 4 hours so in the end Adderall xr lasts about 8 - 12 hours. When you pay for the Adderall XR you are paying for the extended release feature. SO Adderall XR lasts longer than Adderall IR.
Has anyone found Strattera to be as effective as Adderall XR for providing the motivation and energy to begin and complete tasks?
Strattera was a complete waste of time for me. Lots of side effects and no efficacy. Adderall XR is much better. Strattera seems to be useful for about 1/2 those who take it. Plus it's very new. Effects of low doses of stimulants are very well understood over time. NOT SO with Strattera, despite all the fancy marketing material. I had exact same experience as above post. Maybe Strattera is good at treating hyperactivity, but for motivation and drive it's terrible! Same here. Personally, I think Strattera is a drug they give people at first to see who's just trying to get speed from Dr.s and who wants to really get help. If you go through the hoops, I guess they assume your genuine. My doctor pescribed me strattera and when i took it i felt a no energy, i could not pay attention, and i felt depressed but then i took adderal and it was completely diffrent thing
Does adderall work faster then adderall xr?
Yes because Adderall XR stands for Adderall Extended Release. XR lasts longer though because the tiny beads in the XR capsules have sort of like a plastic cover over them which makes them longer to dissolve in your stomach...Its almost like a capsules in a capsule. Hope this answered your question. -Shrimpo
