GULP! | ADHD Information

Glad to hear you are doing O.K. I hope you don't get any side affects and please do keep us updated.I start Well, butrin tomorrow. 75mg. Hey guys, and thanks for checking in!  My head is doing okay.  I'm on 40mg and so far so good.  I can feel the effects and don't have nasty side effects.  My head seems to be clearing to some extent...so that is a good thing!  The nervous tics...ie, leg shaking.  I am going to stay on this dose for a while.  I think a week or so.  I DO NOT want the same side effects like the last time I took Strattera.  I'm not sure why no side effects so far but I'm assuming it's the time I am taking to up the dosage.  That and the "precautions" I am taking may be the reason.  We will see!  I'll keep ya posted...[QUOTE=Davidornado]

[QUOTE=valzap]Anything yet?  I stopped cause of blurry vision, but maybe Ididn't take it long enough to over come that - only 3 days.[/QUOTE]

Sure you don't kneed glasses?

When I first started wearing glasses,

I realized I could focus better.

Oh, no! Here I go again...

Hey there DAvie - I've always had 20/20 vision, tho I haven't been to the doctors in a few years to re-check.  But, no, this blurry vision is definitely part of the Strattera.  I stopped taking and I could see cleary again because the rain was gone.  The changes were very noticeable - take a pill, can't focus.  don't take a pill, can focus.  visually anyway!

'Scuse me, I couldn't hear what you said. Let me get my glasses on...
Yeah, me2. Mental lenses.
Intriguing, val, so what's the doctor say? Somehow you lost control of your eye muscles that do the focusing.  Did you notice any other musculature anomalies? No side effects today.  Just felt normal.  My dose is very low and I'm assuming that is the reason...Are you still there sdw227.  Just want to know if your head is o.k.

David ,

lol - you are so funny! 

Actually, glasses and focusing better have always been my choice of metaphor when describing ADD and the effects that medication has on me when it is helping me.  I can finally see things!!!

Anything yet?  I stopped cause of blurry vision, but maybe Ididn't take it long enough to over come that - only 3 days.went up to 60mg today.  so far so good.  no bad side effects.  first day on 30mg in the morning.  felt funny for around an hour then it went away.    I just took 10mg of Strattera.  Lets see if my head starts spinning.
