Starting Adderall XR after Strattera | ADHD Information

Share

I went to the doc again today even though I was just there in JUne for a meds check-up. I explained that I basically lied at the last check-up. Things are not necessarily fine on Strattera.  It has been a great drug and I am okay on it but I feel like my body has gotten used to it. If that makes sense. Sure, I was great on it compared to no meds at all.  But I was wondering if maybe I could just be 'better'.

Does this make sense to anyone? Anyone have similar experiences? One thing for sure, if my ADD doesn't get a whole lot better I'll get off of it.

 

I take both. Strattera only does so much. It slows my brain down, but I still
feel my symptoms. Adderall helps with my focus and overall executive
functioningHaha I just took my medication. I like Strattera, just not alone. Hey, we
could use all the help we can get! hahahaThat's the same way I felt on Strattera compared to Adderall.  I felt dull and slow on Strattera.  My brain feels engaged, sharp and crisp (strange adjectives to describe brain function - LOL)  on Adderall.  Speaking of which, I need to go take it now.
