You didn't come right out and say so, but from context and other things, I'm guessing you're looking for someone who has had success mainly treating **depression** with one of these meds? Not so much ADD?
My ADD/depression/anxiety were (sometimes 'are' but I am 80-90% better) clearly comorbid, particularly the depression which I think came 75% out of the ADD problems and 25% from situational stuff that overwhelmed the system, so to speak. Once the ADD was understood, treated, manaaged with Strat and therapy, the depression slowly and steadily disappeared.
Anxiety still flares up some, but is manageable. I think this is quite a bit unrelated to the ADD piece of my puzzle anyway. Long story...
Anyway...sorry if my experience doesn't fit. Maybe there will be something helpful to someone in here anyway. Hope so :-)
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
Meds: Strattera 80 mg q day
