Is anoy one taking starttera and a stimulant? If so, how does the stimulant helps?

I am on strattera (80mg) and feel that I'm not getting the full effect (shrink also agrees). He suggested increasing to 100mg. I tried for few days, but gave me lots of side effects that I did not expereince when I was at 80mg. So I'm back at 80mg and the doc is suggesting adding a stimulant to the strattera.

Many thanks.

I am taking 25mg of Strattera and 20mg of Daytrana and sometimes 5-10mg of Ritalin in the morning.

Here is a recent post I made that gives some history:

I was until recently. The side effects (mainly painful, but fully functional... umm... nether regions) made me stop Strattera. I did notice positive effects from the Strattera. It's hard to say what, but I felt slightly more motivated and able to start working.

Doses: Adderall (1.5 to 3 times 20mg/day immediate release) + recently added Strattera (40mg/day for a week, then 80mg/day) Took Strattera for about 1.5 months, stopped about 10 days ago.

I take stattera (60 mg..supposed to be 70 mg) and dexedrine. Strattera alone doesn't do much for me, but along with my dex it's pretty good.
