It may: All treatment of adhd is individualized. Strattera (atomoxetine) (a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and Intuniv (an Alpha 2a agonist) work in different ways to accomplish the same goal of alleviating symptoms of adhd. Strattera (atomoxetine) may take a while to achieve full effect. Intuniv tends to work quicker. Work with your presriber and also learn non-medication strategies of adhd. Best regards.

Strattera vs Intuniv: Excellent response by Dr. Kuhnley. Atomoxetine (Strattera) and guanfacine (Intuniv) are both non-stimulant ADHD medications. One can't say with certainty if any medication will work on a person. However, it could prove to be beneficial.
