I am currently taking Mirtaz for sleep. Can a psychiatric doctor prescribe Atomoxetine or Methylphenidate for ADHD? Are these two medications safe to take along with Mirtaz?
Long back I tried both Atomoxetine and Methylphenidate Didn't work and I wanna try again

It can be done after proper evaluation, not just because a patient wishes it. Only if applicable as per treatment protocol the same may be considered. Good luck.
