Please describe the medication: strattera (atomoxetine)?

See below: Strattera (atomoxetine) (amoxetine) is an approved medication treatment for childhood and adult adhd. In contrast to the variety of available stimulants (which are scheduled/controlled medications with habit forming potential), strattera (atomoxetine) is not a controlled substance nor does it have habit forming potential. Its onset of efficacy (for adhd) is delayed (weeks) as compared to stimulants (eg ritalin, etc).

Atomoxetine: Atomoxetine (Strattera) is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor which makes it different from stimulant treatments for ADHD. It takes longer to work than a stimulant. It can work very well for some people but overall is not as effective as stimulants. In one study of amoxetine vs placebo 40% of people still reported significant ADHD symptoms. One positive is that it is not a controlled substance.
