Specializes in Psychiatry

Diagnosis First: Stratterra is a helpful medication if you have attention deficit disorder. A psychiatrist can evaluate you and determine if that is the reason you are having a hard time, there are other causes and other treatments.

Depends: ADD/Adhd is a specific pathologic process and strattera (atomoxetine) has been helpful in people who have this. However, in others, they may either benefit by being more alert, have no effect or become so irritable that their ability to function will deteriorate
