    This did wonders for me compared to adderall or ritalin, no jitters, no sweating, no anxiety, no mood swings. However, I find the effects to be inconsistent.

    Comment:
    I had switched from Adderall XR to Straterra when my doctor had months of samples and my Adderall was getting to be quite expensive. Also, being a non stimulant this was quite appealing.
