"i was diagnosed with adhd late and started strattera about a year ago. when one gets a diagnosis like this late in life, one contemplates missed opportunities along the way, so i was very hopeful at the beginning. my insurance balked, because it was only approved for children, but eventually, i started it. a year later, i stopped. i don&#039;t know what the reasons are, but i felt no effects whatsoever. i stopped about a month ago, and never even noticed anything since stopping. i know doctors don&#039;t want to prescribe amphetamines or opiates or anything which has even the slightest risk of dependency. fine. then what? and what is out there for adults with adhd?"
