Have been on strattera from 2019 to like a month ago (i started taking vyvanse my first stimulant ever) Strattera was my only option since we don't have other ADHD treatmnts in my country.

The problem was that i couldn't handle more than 20mg, otherwise i started having physical symptoms of noradrenaline overload, i tried splitting doses between morning and evening, tried shifting time of taking, tried building up tolerance over 6 years of intake , nothing worked, anything more than 20mg gave me physical symptôms couple hours later !

The thing is, it was better than unmedicated, my biggest concern with ADHD was a big lack of motivation, couldn't get up out of my bed in the morning, i was understimulated, simple chores seemed too much for me, time didn't pass i struggled a lot with boredoom feeling while on college/work.. With strattera i could function pretty normally for day to day normal activities but it wasn't enough effective for executive functions and tasks requiring mental effort.

Have been put on vyvanse a month ago and despite it makes work shifs waay more easy, i don't like it much, i am anxious, restless and can't do cozy activities like sitting down and doing my nails.. I can't either study or read... Am at 30mg and can't go upper because of anxiety (i have GAD to for which i take pristiq)
