Strattera (atomoxetine): If your doctor recommends it, it's worth a try. Follow the capsule card over next month if given samples.

Second line : Atomoxetine is a second line medication for adhd. It's used when stimulants or other meds are not helpful. It takes up to six months to see if it's effective, so your patience is important. Most of the time stratttera works best in combination with other drugs.
