When you say “without success” do you mean that these drugs did nothing useful, or just that they weren’t good enough? I don’t know strattera, but I think of methylphenidate (focalin) as very similar to amphetamine (adderall). Certainly methylphenidate is weaker than amphetamine, but I’d expect it to be a pretty good predictor of whether the amphetamine would work. So I am very surprised that I think you are saying that the one worked and the other didn’t, which is why I’m asking for clarification.
Strattera was actually quite a while ago (sadly I don’t remember the generic name) but I’m pretty sure it had no noticeable effect. I should probably clarify that the focalin actually did have a noticeable effect, but it was very weak and it had the same sleep-disturbing side effects as adderall, so it was not really worth it.
What other drugs did you try?
Strattera and Focalin, and possibly another one that I’m forgetting.
