    I dunno if I (41) count as a kid, but I got diagnosed last year and put on atomoxetine. It’s got the jumping-from-thought-to-thought under control so I can concentrate on something if I get started, and I guess making phone calls is a bit easier now. But I’m still very much ADHD, just under control a bit.

      I know this is 6 months old but I just wanted to share my experience which was negative, I just got diagnosed and my psychiatrist wanted to try Atomoxetine before a stimulant. I was only on 20mg for two weeks, it raised my resting heart rate by 30 - 40 bpm. My resting heart rate was literally 100 bpm because of it, blood pressure also sky rocketed. It made me depressed and took away my libido. I hated that shit.

      But it gave me cool vivide dreams every night. It works well for some people.
