See my post on the "Tweaking ADD ADHD Treatment" public forum. Hope I get some good replies. Strattera gives me dry mouth but it is tolerable. No nausea at 75 mg. Were you gradually upped to that level?

Yes, Adderall requires a lot of hydration. Interesting that the dry mouth was TOO MUCH. Must have been awful.

Strattera? Couldn't stand it. Made me nearly narcoleptic at times. Mind felt in a straitjacket.

Wellbutrin was okay, but I was way too manic. And grouchy. Bad combo. But I did quit smoking.

Terrible, terrible time with Effexor but that's a thread for another time.

So: Adderall's been best. Not ready to try something else, but I love reading about other ADDers experiences.

I have tried Effexor with no effect, Strattera which felt like a sedative for me, and Wellbutrin which I am currently trialing and it just makes me more hungry and unfocused, so I am going back to Adderall. It does have a diuretic effect so it is important to drink often while taking it. I am 52, and really feel leery about taking stimulants regularly, but the alternative meds. just don't seem to do anything for focus and ability to organize and stay on task. Wish it was different....
