I just cant say enough about the ideas and experiences that have been brought up in this thread. It really is great and invaluable.
I have been taking strattera now for since the 26th, and my results to date are as follows.
The doc gave me an initial dose of 25 mg to start out the first 7 days with, and then jump to 40 mg after that.
Like I stated in the previous posts the 25mg was working quite effectively despite the side affects. Finally, the day came to jump to the 40mg. I took the pill with breakfast like I usually do. When I got to work I found my focus was rather cloudy and I felt quite anxious. Something I hadn't felt in about a week, since I started popping the pills. That starting day of the 40mg I felt like I was back to my pre-medicated state.
The only thing I can conclude is that strattera is a stimulant, when given in the correct doses can have the mysterious calming affect the ritalin type drugs provide. However, when given in too large of a dose will have the same affects of the more basic stimulants like caffeine? That is just my gut feeling. Does this make sense to anyone?
I am going to post a classic Pavlina 30 day report next week. So stay tuned.
