Just my 2 cents. I don't know if my experience applies to you. I have had life long major depression along with extreme anxiety. I am on 30 mg Lexapro which has eliminated the depression, but I still need to be more calm and to have better focus.
Lexapro is the only psycotropic drug that I have been on for a few years. To increase focus (ADD), my doc put me on Wellbutrin a few months a go. But I stopped it after a month due to increased jitteriness.
Then last week, he put me on Strattera (along with the Lexapro). So far it is working well. It makes me more calm and more focused. I am only on 40 mg at the moment eventhough the maintainence dose for my body weight is 100 mg. He wants to increase gradually.
