my worst medication was strattera, at the time ... though i was taking prozac with it, and atomoxetine is a metabolite or something of fluoxetine, and those 2 combined caused me to have anxiety skyrocket, norephrinephrine was alot. That was in 2007, my mood was not good, and the increase in norephinephrine made me irrtible and aggressive. I'm still thinking that would be the same with robexetine, norepinephrine irritability.
the best med was dexamphetamine, but ... there was many downsides, such as having to deal with the wear off period, and mood shifts. It helped with mood and getting going in the mornings, but like i said i hated that crash period. It helped me do things during the day, and staying on task. Made things more interesting, and having stable thought process.
but besides that i would have to say prozac, because if i did not take prozac right now, i would be very depressed, it's like a safety net....to catch me from going into depression, waking up from a nap and not being terribly in a deep depression
