"i&#039;ve taken strattera at first and didn&#039;t like it so went on adderall xr 15 mg once a day. increased energy and increased focus.  after a while, the increased energy was too much so i decided to try strattera. i dropped the adderall dose and took them both together for a few weeks before discontinuing the adderall.   they feel virtually identical.  i take strattera twice a day to avoid daytime sleepiness &amp; no longer feel over stimulated and zombified and i have energy, &amp; increased focus. i did have a headache for the first couple of days. took an adderall yesterday and yup felt identical. could barely tell a difference except got a bad headache at the end of the day on the come down and i also felt like a zombie again. oh yeah, no come down on strattera!"
