"i am 65 yrs old; and been dealing with learning disability all my life. however, only recently a clinical psychologist, who i went to for some testing, recommended ritalin, adderall which caused unpleasant side effects then strattera 40 mg. strattera has been the drug that works for me. i am definitely more focused and can stay focused on reading a book or newspaper article to completion without anxiety and frustration of having to read the same paragraph over and over again. i have always been treated with paxil for anxiety attacks over the years but this drug seems to work better in that i am happy to feel more focused, interested and involved with everything i do and being with my kids seems to be more enjoyable for me. i embrace these feelings."
