Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. It is difficult to be in sales and have a hard time staying focused and finishing tasks. You may have ADHD or another mental disorder with these symptoms. Depression would also be top among those that have those symptoms. I wonder if a medication other than strattera would be ideal for you. I do not believe you can reicieve an Rx online here, however if you can describe in detail what your other symptoms are, I may be able to suggest diagnoses and treatment alternatives. For a complete list of disorders and symptoms please refer to the DSM V available on: WWW.WWWW.WW I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
