I've gotta say, I've been on atomoxetine for a year now and I love it! Just be aware the "standard adult" dose might be way too much for you (it was for me). When they started me on 40mg I felt like an emotionless robot. I could get stuff done but at the cost of my joy. I told this to my doc and he was like...maybe you just need less. I got the 10mg children's dose and now I am in so much control of myself I have no clue how I got anything done before hand (well I do know, it was self medication with caffeine and stress).
