Strattera versus Adderall for productivity

I used to be prescribed Adderall many years ago. It works for getting work done. However, the crash isn't very fun.
I recently went back to the doctor to get Adderall (for school) and instead he prescribed me Strattera.
I think Strattera is better than Adderall for getting stuff done. Also, there is NO crash from Strattera!
If you are prescribed Adderall (or a similar drug) then I would recommend switching to Strattera.
I think Strattera is healthier.

Straterra is the worst pharmaceutical drug I have ever put into my body. It made me tired and depressed both times I took it.
Adderall makes me feel good for a few hours THEN tired and depressed. Straterra is just tired and depressed the whole time

For me, yes. It's a very mellow euphoria accompanied by slight body tingling.
It's weird how this drug works... it's not a stimulant, but rather an NRI (selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), which is not to be confused with SNRIs or or SSRIs. It's the only FDA approved non-stimulant drug for ADHD.

How much of the Strattera were you taking? I find that Strattera makes me determined to get my priorities straight and dominate life lol.

Strattera took it's toll on me for sure. I was probably about 13-14 when they tried to put that shit on me. This was when it was first hitting the market.
I lost a ton of weight, felt like a zombie, and did nothing but turn me into a shell of my former self. I eventually started flushing whole bottles down the drain so I didn't have to take it.
When I got to college I was prescribed Adderall, and it worked like a charm.

Damn, sorry to hear that Mush4Brains. How much were you taking? And did you take it every day?
I've been taking the Strattera in odd intervals the past week (that's how long I've had it). Every other day pretty much. It seems to be working well for me so far. I'm meeting my physician next month again, so by then I'll decide if I want to stay on this or try to get back on Adderall.

I have no clue what the dosage was, but when I was taking it I was definitely taking it daily. This was damn near ten years ago, sorry.
Adderall has been 100x better than that shit ever did for me.
