does strattera wear off at days end? | ADHD Information

Share

i am only on 10 mgs of strattera and i take early a.m.  today was only day three and yesterday and today i found myself very emotional and irritable yelling at the puppies, the computer, my dh, and anything else that got in my way.  i went to bed feeling so disgruntled about life that i did not know what to do.  i have not slept any of the nights that i have been on this med so maybe by days end i am just too tired that i am cranky???

either way...it is so not pleasant to feel this way.  this evening i found myself literally crying at some dumb maternity show!!!  not me at all!  and this is only 10 mgs, i can only wonder what 25 might feel like?

either way, i do not want to know so i wont take this tomorrow and am going to talk to dr. on monday.

is there an on line assessment of adult add?

Deep breaths.  Deep breaths.

Life will be strange for about two weeks.  You may find yourself becoming extremely lethargic or not being able to sleep, and you're apparently already experiencing the grumpiness.  It'll pass - don't worry.  Give it a month before you make any heavy decisions about Strattera.  I've been on it at 40mg (80mg on tough days) for about 18 months, and it's been decent.
