"i have been on strattera for almost a year. this is the only add medicine i have tried so i do not have experience with others. it helps me focus in on one thing and gives my brain a rest from all the thoughts. it also helps me sleep at night because my mind is not wandering. 
some side effects i have experienced is weight loss (almost extreme from 120 to 100 in 5 months) although i have gained about 5 pounds back and am still working on it. 
also i am very thirsty all the time, so keep water with you everywhere! . lastly i have to take it on a full stomach or else it will give me a severe stomach ache.
overall, this medicine has really helped me be able to enjoy life and want to spend time with the people i love!"
