Strattera sleepiness | ADHD Information

I'm climbing aboard the Stratterra express. Although not bothered by the extreme sleepiness that some have reported, I have found that after lunch I just want to crawl under my desk and take a nap.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that just a half cup of coffee with lunch seems to cure my afternoon narcolepsy. Personally and I know your mileage may vary, I've found that Straterra is not all that unpleasant. But I'm a battle scarred veteran of mixing up a bipolar cocktails. It's been better for me so far rather than Adderall which made me very cranky. However, I'm not jumping from 40 mg to 80mg after one week like the script says. I sense Straterra is some high powered mojo and the dosage is best increased slowly.

As to the racing heartbeat, been there, got the teeshirt. Higher blood pressure, ditto. Weird sexual things, yeah.  But at age 56 that's such a big deal although I understand how it would freakout a teenager. I've personally found that if you can tolerate side effects that in time most disappear. Doesn't happen overnight but eventually it can happen. I've learned to be alot more patient with this stuff.

Time will tell if Straterra is the magic bullet...
