That is best: Discussed with the doctor who's been following you. Strattera may not be as effective as the vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) has been -- at least for adhd, anyway.

Yes.: Stimulants are used to augment antidepressants but there are other stimulants that can be used and yes, you may try strattera (atomoxetine) but this is more trial and error. Drinking doesn't help , though.
