Anyone on Strattera? | ADHD Information

My son is 9YO on strattera, 36mg. I took affect on him in 3 weeks. I noticed a change somewhat, but he's being re-evaluated right now to see if he's truely ADD or not. I agree with Angrymom take on a full stomach because you will have stomach aches. I have been on Strattera for a couple of months so far. For me, the effects worked for a while but then become weak and no longer help or subsize my symptoms 
I started off with 10 mg, then 18.5 then 25 then 40 and then 80.. still restless.
Told the psy about it and I should start Addrell XR this week once my health insurance approves it.
Remember everyone responds differently.
Yes the effects digged in around 2 weeks later for me I know you are looking for responses from adults on strattera. My son who is 8 is on strattera and we started noiticing changes within about 3 weeks. Worked wonders for many months then just all of sudden quit and we upped his dose and then helped. He takes 35 mg. bridgettake only on full stomach. If effects bother you try after last meal of the day. It can take 4-6 weeks to see results. It's not a stim.We use only during school year on our son who is 9 on 25.I was wondering if anyone is on strattera. I took Concerta for 4 months and had many side effects without the desired effect. I would like some input of how it is working for adults and doses. I just increased to 60 mg/day and have been on it 2 weeks. When do people notice differences? I would like to hear your responses. Thanks.

I had been on Wellbutrin XL and Strattera for quite a while.  Got off the Wellbutrin because of side effects they claim are low occurrance.  Doctor raised Strattera from 40 to 60.  I nearly slept through the entire second week and just this weekend went back to 40.  Feel better physically.  Still not thinking all too well.

I've done Aderall and Ritalin/Metadate/Concerta, all with side effects, but they all work better for me than Strattera.

 

  I took Strattera for about 6 weeks, and didn't like it very much.  Sure it improved focus and concentration but it made me feel lethargic most of the time and way too serious.  People around me began commenting how much I have changed when I was on it and that I wasn't as fun to be around so I got off it.  Coming off it was easy for me by the way...I just stopped taking it and had no withdrawal symptoms or feelings it was easy.  BTW I went through every side effect you can imagine within the first 2 weeks (Sure they do eventually go away...at least 95% of them do) but what didn't work for me may work for you.  I begin taking Concerta either tommorow or Saturday depending on when the Doc will correct my perscription (He made an error when writing it).Can be used before bed time instead. Son likes it better then. Was on strattera (40mg) for 3 months and it didnt work for me. I am now on 10mg AXR. It works better but not strong/lasting for me.. We started our 5 1/2 year old son on Strattera about 3 weeks ago.  He takes it at night.  Have read that some people think it only works 5-6 hours.  Still confused about how it is supposed to work during the next day.  No ill side affects like Ritalin or Adderall but not sure we are seeing anything different regarding attention and focus.  Anyone have any thoughts?
