Strattera works some

What do you do when strattera helps some symptoms but not all? I’ve been on strattera for 2 months. I’ve been at 60mg for one month. It has helped lower anxiety and rumination a lot. I have noticed big improvement especially with social anxiety. It lowered emotional eating and food noise. My brain is quieter.

It has not helped with motivation or initiation. I still fell task paralysis, overwhelmed and don’t know where to start on task. I still hyper focus and do deep dives on random topics when I should be working. I also feel a little flat and foggy sometimes.

I have my next psych appointment on 4/24. Anyone been in this situation? What is most likely to help? Increasing strattera, adding stimulant, or stopping strattera and trying new med.
