Atomoxetine/Strattera anxiety and depression

Hi,

I would like to hear experiences if someone experienced severe anxiety and depression in the beginning (as a side effect), but had success after it?

I am on day 10 with atomoxetine. Started with 25mg but I got so anxious we decided to lower it to 10mg 4 days ago. I have tried concerta and elvanse before, and both got me over stimulated and anxious. I have also felt quite depressed since starting atomoxetine.

I got diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago, and have also GAD and panic disorder. Also suffer with social anxiety. I had so much hope that non-stimulant would be a better option for me, but somehow it feels very stimulating as well.

I am also on 5mg Brintellix / Trintellix. Could not stand a bigger dose as I am very sensitive overall.

Thanks for sharing any experiences!
