switching from adderal to straterra

Hi all my doc just prescribed straterra and i will be stopping adderal. Adderal made me super paranoid and angry. Anyone know anything about strattera? Any experience? I'm afraid my add is going to skyrocket since Addy is obviously stronger. I took adderal for about two and a half months.

   Well, you know why I think the Adderal made you paranoid, etc.
Hopefully, the Straterra will work for you.  It will take 2 to 4 weeks to reach maximum effectiveness, so don't expect the same feelings you got with the Adderall.   Everybody is different and its all kind of a trial and error to find what works the best for you.  Keep in touch and let us know how things are working out.  
   I still think you should send your doc that article just to see what he thinks.   The author, Dr. Charles Parker, is a neuroscientist and psychiatrist with an expertise in this field.

Thanks, I did show my doc the article. He was receptive and does not want to mix prozac/amphetamine.
