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
What else can I help you with?
What dose of Strattera is equivalent to Adderall 30mg?
30 mg of adderall. strattera is not an amphetamine, genius.
What is a substitute for Adderall XR?
rittalin or strattera
Does Strattera cause fetal position and tics and odd behavior?
See your doctor. Adderall can cause tics, but not Strattera.
Will Strattera have the same affects as adderall at 120 mg help big test tomorrow?
No it wouldn't have the same affects. Strattera is a non-stimulant, non controlled drug used for ADHD. Adderall is a stimulant and a controlled drug. I take Adderall for narcolepsy to keep me awake. Adderall can also be taken for ADHD.
Does Strattera contain morphine?
No, it does not contain any opiates. To put it bluntly, Strattera has no real value as a recreational drug, nor is it terribly effective for it's intended purpose. Most ADD/ADHD treatments, such as Adderall, contain dopamine reuptake inhibitors which can produce a speedy high. However, Strattera does not contain DRIs, as it is an alternative to stimulant based treatment forms.
Does Adderall come up as a positive for amphetamines in a drug screen?
No; Strattera is in no way chemically similar to amphetamines.
Can I Switch from Strattera to Adderall?
Yes, you can switch from Strattera (atomoxetine) to Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine), but it's important to do so under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The two medications work differently; Strattera is a non-stimulant while Adderall is a stimulant. Your doctor will help determine the appropriate timing and dosage to ensure a safe transition and monitor for any side effects or changes in symptoms. Always consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
How much time do you need in between when changing from Adderall to Strattera?
When i went to adderall it had only been a couple of days since i had last took my Stattera, I asked my doctor if i should be switching to adderall this fast and he said there would be no problem, and there wasn't
Is Strattera a good ADD medication?
Yes. Strattera is effective in about 60% of patients who take it. This is in comparison with methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, etc) and Adderall, which are effective in about 85% of the patients who take them. There are advantages to Strattera: It isn't addictive, it can be prescribed with refills, and it works 24 hours a day. There are disadvantages to Strattera: It takes several weeks to reach its maximal effect. There are advantages to the stimulant medications (Ritalin, Adderall, etc): They work almost immediately, they decrease appetite (an advantage in the obese patient with ADD). There are disadvantages to the stimulant medications: They cause decreased appetite (a disadvantage for children who are not overweight), they cause insomnia, they can make the patient jittery, and they don't last all day. Also, they cannot be prescribed with refills, so the patient has to pick up a new prescription at the doctor's office every month.
Is Strattera an equivalent to Adderall?
Strattera and Adderall can both be used for ADHD but they have different side effects and therefore different results. Strattera website: http://www.strattera.com/index.jsp Adderall website: http://www.adderallxr.com/ ~ T NO! If you research any REAL study done with Adderall XR or Strattera, you will see that Strattera is maybe 50% as effective as Adderall XR at the most. Also, from patient and physician feedback, you will see the same results. Strattera is not only weak in its efficacy, it is not a very safe product. Adderall XR and other stimulants have been around for over 50 years and are very studied regarding safety. Stimulants such as Adderall XR are proven safe and effective for the treatment of ADHD. Think about it, Eli Lilly has spent more advertising Strattera than all of the other 7 or 8 ADHD branded products combined. Why is Adderall XR still the number one prescribed and fastest growing ADHD product on the market? Because it works the best and has the highest response rate. It has changed my life.
Best medicine for some with adhd and a fast metabolism and Strattera does not work?
I know focalin would not work because it has to stay in your system for a little while to see the good effects (side effects are usually present immediately). I have high metabolism and adderall IR and strattera didn't work for me either.
Will taking caffeine and Strattera help concentration?
Well and this is jusy my personal opinion, the euphoric state and level of concentration your able to obtain while taking adderall is obviously more potent than that of caffeine and coming off of adderall besides the occasional emotional mood swing is free of the drop in energy that caffeine induces. If you look aside from the chemical differences adderall is a safer alternative to taking the high amounts of caffeine it would take to even acheive anywhere close to the feeling that adderall gives you or the ability to concentratrate and focus on specific tasks which I don't think caffeine would allow because of it's difference. Caffine seems too be a mild stimulant where as adderall is a prescribed medication specifically designed to help with a problem. It makes the differences easier to see perhaps from an athletice perspective, I can play with my adderall as I monitor my intake when I play as where caffeine would only eventually hamper my play, regardless of the dosage because of it's physical effect on my body. So I would say that yes there is a significant difference between the too. Trust me I play better with a little adderall and a healthly diet than with a couple cokes that don't allow me that great a level of concentration for me. Cokes are great any other time as well though. Hope I helped a little. Wish you the best of luck. God bless.
