Anybody want to share their experience with strattera? I am on 80mg daily for add and although touted as 'non-stimulant' it does in fact inhibit 'DAT', pretty amazing imho. It has no rush at all (compared to adderal and ritalin) but continued use does leave one feeling a bit 'stimulated' for lack of a better word. Opinions?
 
On the wiki page it said that a low dose of strattera was indistinguable from cocaine to monkeys..
 
i didn't find it useful. but i was into dexies since i was 14 so it wouldn't do what i expected for focus/attention
 
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...:)
 
IME it caused nausea and heavy somnolance and never helped me because I was overwhelmed by those side effect. ADHD medication are not supose to cause somnolance but this one did. So I stopped taking it and tried other medication.
 
This stuff made me sweat like I was stuck in the tropics. Even if the ambient temperature was 80 degree I'd be sweating like someone running or jogging in high humidity and heat. Couldn't stand it and discontinued after my sample pack had been used.
 
well i decided to quit Strattera yesterday with my doctor. Cold turkey.

i don't feel withdrawal or anything. i am relax. still a little bit bored and i have sad thoughts but thats it.
tomorrow i am going to buy my self a good bottle of wine, i deserve it!...2 months and a half hating the taste and the feeling of what i usualy enjoy...hope it will finaly taste good again!
