I've recently been diagnosised with ADHD and I think that this is the root of all my anxiety and depression. Due to lack of focus and concentration for so many years without knowing how to deal with it. Has anyone tried this drug Strattera? Pros Cons, etc??

I feel that this disk does nothing for me. I struggle trying to get through it. It really feels like a job with no results. I have been feeling better since IO cut back on cafine and started excersizing. How does everyone else like this disk??
