Hi there, I have ADHD too. I guess my question to is, has your Doctor ever raised your dose of Concerta in the 5 years you have been on it.? Maybe that's all you would need. As far as Stratera, the only thing I really know about it is it is not a stimulant medication like Concerta, so my guess is it will not be as strong. Have you heard of a medication for ADHD called Adderall.? It is what I take & it works great. They also came out with a drug called Vyvance (made by the Adderall company). I hope I helped a bit:)Health Question & Answer
Talk to the doctor that prescribed the Concerta. Let him/her know it is not working as well as before. The best medication is what your doctor prescribes for you after you tell him/her how you are feeling. Good Luck.
