My general doctor has been giving me Strattera for ADD/ADHD, but I'm having some issues with insurance and the cost. I'm looking for something else to take for it because I quite taking the Strattera and all the old problems are back. I don't know how to go about getting a new medication. My present doctor does not believe in giving stimulants to adults and will not prescribe medication for me. Please help in my search. Thanks.
