I want to try Strattera, any thoughts or advice?

For the last roughly two years or so, I’ve been fighting tooth and nail to avoid using a stimulant medication. That fight has ended up leading me to some dark periods of burn out, and now that my junior year in high school has started, and I’m in high level courses, that feeling has returned. I don’t think Adderall or stimulant meds are totally off the table, but I am considering getting on Strattera in particular because I’ve heard it produces less of a “suped up awareness” and more of a steady beam of focus. From those of you that have taken both stimulant and non-stimulant medication, what is your input? How do the side effects compare? Is Strattera really helpful?
