Your doc is ramping up your medication because you the side effects usually come in after you start seeing benefits... Since strattera is not working for you the next time you go see the doc he'll probably switch you up to something else (if you want to continue drug therapy)

I've had ADD my whole life and tried the drug route, but found cognitive therapy more effective in terms of treatment and because the side effects were fairly severe for me (depression, acne, DRY MOUTH wow). Explore your options and educate yourself on your condition so you have some knowledge under your belt next time you see the doc.
