hello,
I take Stratterra since 2 months ( i am a super case of ADHD, an artist, a mom of a 15 year old daughter, and a happy woman in love), i am at 2x40mg\day since 5 weeks now and , well i dont' see any improvement in my attention, impulsivity or concentration. 8)
I had side effects, some of them were funny ( sex drive, and some strange euphoria a lot like a mix of alcohol and cocaine but lighter and funny waves of chills like on E) and some were uncomfortable like cotton mouth, cold ( i mean dead cold) feet, sweating like a pig when training, runny nose and insomnia, huge mood swings, i lost my appetite at the beginning but its all back to normal now, in fact almost every thing is back to normal almost. i dont feel my pills kicking like before.
Its like i am not taking anything..........I am just feeling a little too much depressed some times and i am so tired, if Statterra is suppose to calm an hyperactive and anxious person like me, in my case it makes me just feeling anxious and lethargic and i have some ridiculous sadness crisis ( like when i was pregnant, crying for NOTHING and everything)....
if i still feel like this in a month i am quitting.... Oh one important thing, i lost the pleasure of drinking alcohol, it doesn't taste good anymore and makes me nauseous after 2 glasses...i skip the good buzz and just have the hang over directly!!!! lollll its a good thing because i like food and wine a little bit too much in general so i gain about 15 pound in the past 5 years, I lost them with strattera but i feel that it could come back easily.... i still dont drink more then 2-3 glass a week. i tried Cocaine but it doesn't feel like before with strattera, it is very subtil but the dehydration is terrible! lollll...
i dont speek english very well but i hope what i said was clear...
