Talk to your doctor : Strattera (atomoxetine) is a good choice for treating Attention Deficit Disorder. Talk to your doctor about your treatment options to include risks, benefits and side effects. Your insomnia should also be addressed. Remember to be careful while driving. People with Attention Deficit Disorder are more prone to accidents and have a higher mortality rate. Stay safe and see your doctor. Best wishes!

Strattera (atomoxetine): This is a good option to try, as directed by your doctor. Other things you might ask your doctor to try for sleep might be Clonidine, Remeron (mirtazapine) or Melatonin.

May not interfere: Sleep problems do occur with Adderall, but I have found that those with preexisting sleep problems may have an improvement in their sleep initiation problem. If you have not tried Adderall, speak to your doctor about the issue. Insomnia occurs in about 5% of those who take it. There are several choices. Strattera (atomoxetine) is a reasonable choice.
