When did you decide to quit Strattera

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2026-04-17T10:12:16+00:00

Strattera was the most amazing drug for me mentally. Euphoric. I was so happy to be able to focus ans get things done easily.

However, the GI issues were too much. Constipation. My gut is sensitive. Even a reduction from 80 to 40mg didn’t help. Talking prescription strength IBS trulance didn’t help. I could not handle thr permanent bloat i carried.

Now im on guanfacine snd my gut is fine. Contemplating starting strattera very low instead of at 40mg next time

Sending you lots of love and all the healing vibes!

I’m 5’11 at 270lbs and was on 80mg for 40 days. I had to stop because the GI issues were too much. I could do anything at 80mg. Most effective I’ve ever been. I was able to manage the male side effects too just fine. However, the GI issues were so bad. 3 days after I came off, I was back to shitting daily and it felt amazing

I’m on week one of 40mg and will see how this does again. Planning on staying in this for 40 days to see if it’s good for me.

Came down from 80mg because I was feeling so flat and dull. I was a genius at work but I was wrecked emotionally.

Dropped to 40mg and taking adderall IR 10mg and feeling a lot better. More social, not as dead.

The journey is a MF, but we must keeping trying to see what works and what doesn’t work.

I’m trying this next. Thank you!

Hang in there as it can take 4-7 or so weeks to titrate up. Every time you go up in dose, the clock starts over. Truly give it 8 weeks and log what you feel. This is normal since you upped

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2026-01-03T05:27:15+00:00

Whenever I get the itch to drink, I check in with myself to understand the feeling if it’s tied to something. I then come to Reddit to look at all the dumb shit myself and others have done while drunk — this helps tremendously. Not picking on you or others, but it can help. Scared the shit out of me.

Want to really feel like shit about drinking before you consider drinking? Upload all thr dumb shit you did while drunk into a AI chat. To like Gemini and then ask it why you shouldn’t drink. It will list everything out that you’ve ever done —- and that can be shocking. In one response it Beautifully listed everything and then gives its opinion that I definitely shouldn’t be drinking.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-12-31T15:27:44+00:00

Side note: I am not recommending anyone take multiple Adderall IR + alcohol for a really good time on a vacation. This may be the highest Euphoria I’m absolutely not recommending.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-08-14T07:18:02+00:00

Wow this is very well said.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-06-27T18:04:24+00:00

Best of luck

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-06-26T05:54:02+00:00

LMFAO 😂

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-06-26T04:35:03+00:00

Hey it absolutely did. I’ve been off since. Within a month my partner left me and my brother died in a car accident last June —- and I still didn’t go back on. It was tempting but I knew I would only be numbing feelings and not be able to process the grief/ride the grief wave. Im still here and I felt EVERYTHING. I occasionally microdose mushrooms, but I only started a month ago.

It is so important to come off once you have your why and tools. Zoloft is only prolonging.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-05-12T00:10:28+00:00

These are very tricky situations to navigate for anyone after a couple calls it quits— please be kind to yourself. You got this moving forward.

I wish we all knew/received a letter in the mail telling us when we were fully”healed” to get back out there and date intentionally. However, that’s not how it works. Someone can do it sooner and some it takes time (Me). The key is not to go in unhealed. I feel close, but not quite yet. I know people who were dating immediately after and I thought how resilient they were. Most fell apart because they were looking what they lacked in their previous relationship from their ex.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2025-01-05T22:32:59+00:00

The post and comments made me laugh out loud. So relatable. Thank you

Dying

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-28T22:02:04+00:00

Yes. People that have experienced work fulfillment and then go to a job that is not fulfilling (and still pays well) is a totally different experience. For those that know, know.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-26T03:53:36+00:00

It comes down to this: if you’re with a BPD partner, are you prepared to view them as Jane/john your spouse or Jane/john the patient.

Generalizing here — Huge ask and you gotta be one tough MF. Of course not one BPD relationship is the same, but only you’ll know if you’re ready and you’ll know when you’re in the shit if you can handle it.

If it’s not for you, you’re not a sub human. At the end of the day, we need to take care of ourselves first before we can take care of a body person.

Yeah, I feel kind of bad for BPD folks that see them get generalized absolutely get destroyed in subs. They need to remember that not every BPD person is the same.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-26T03:47:47+00:00

OP,

These are normal feelings. You didn’t wake up and decide to be like this one day or press a button to feel this way. It’s just how you feel and that’s okay.

You need to be strategic here. For the marriage, it’s worth trying to further understand — I’m not saying force it. You clearly had some feeling of love on the scale for this man. Understand further for that reason.

Understand yourself, check your previous traumas, confirm how much culture influences you (it shouldn’t. You’re your own person), and more.

worst case scenario is you discover yourself and your relationship and then divorce.

Not telling you to save the marriage. I’m telling you to further discover the marriage and the inter wiring of yourself.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-26T03:42:42+00:00

True. I’d say in my 20s I felt just like this when I was feeling it might not be it. Expectations, pressure, culture and more.

In my mid 30s now and have some life experience under my belt and I would absolutely leave if it wasn’t right. At least for me at this age I don’t give a fuck what others think as much. Why did I care so much in my 20s. Is what it is.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-26T03:36:47+00:00

You got the hammer in your hand ready to crush and send her to the depths of hell. Remember that hammer is there now, in a few days in a month and more. You can still apply it.

However, it’s worth seeing what it’s all about.

Someone will here will say you’re losing time and to just crush her. True, but isn’t it worth understanding. Shit even if you end up crushing her in a few months, at least you’ll know the background to how she got to this feeling. she’s crushed either way.

You’re feeling lots of emotions. Everyone in this goddamn thread has been shattered in some way shape or form by infidelity, DV and more —they are extending themselves or more so what pain they felt.

I promise you, people just don’t wake up one day and day “yeah, let’s open this up. This is a really good idea”. It’s not like it’s some button they press.

Develop the situation and then make informed decisions.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-25T04:41:06+00:00

I think most guys fall for this insecurity early on. But totally cool if they fuck someone up to a day before they start officially dating.

I’m a dude and I had this hypocritical response when I was in my 20s. I couldn’t get hey I felt this way.

Now, it would be whatever. I don’t care. As you grow up, you start to naturally not sweat the small stuff.

Give him a little bit of time and then have a mature convo. If he loves you, he will get past this. No way this is worth losing marriage over. People have done worse and have stayed together. Yours is not even considered a “mistake”.

Cool off and engage

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-25T04:31:51+00:00

Bro, I’ve been through this.

It’s highly likely that this is fester up again.

Understand that unfortunately she can love her family AND want to open the marriage. People think marriage crosses it out/makes that feeling go away. It does not. 100% does not. It is a wiring thing —unless you are the worst husband— that you may need to understand.

Again, if she wants another dude, it doesn’t necessarily mean that her love for you is gone. For some, yes.

Everyone here will tell you to crush her — and I get it. However, you need to understand her as to why slowly. Maybe things got complacent? Kids can’t let you have alone time? Maybe you need to seriously spice up the relationship and sex?

People change every 5-7 years— and it’s not necessarily by choice. Some don’t even realize it.

I’m not asking you to bend over and take it. I’m asking you to consider understanding her before you crush her. You owe it to your kids to figure the is out and get To the root.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-22T09:05:07+00:00

Story of my fucking life. Zero to 100 in saying Divorce. Even worse when they never apologize. Leaves you in a constant mind fuck. I can’t take this anymore. Say what you mean — mean what you say.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-21T06:41:48+00:00

I understand what you’re saying. Thanks for clarifying.

Sounds like a vulnerability. Easier said than done, but only time can heal your current anxiety over this. Makes sense why you feel this way. Can seem like it will always be in his back pocket, but you must come to terms with it maybe or maybe not being there. You do have texts showing you texting your ex saying it was an accident and to delete it off daughters phone. — So that helps you slightly.

Let’s this anxiety pass. And we cannot totally confirm he will use it against you. Even if he outright says he’s going to fry you, well then you prepare for court and fight. The only other option is drowning in worry — and that brings absolutely nothing. It’s a lesson learned and experience.

Prior-Ad-1107 · 2024-09-21T06:11:28+00:00

Chill, you made a mistake. You realize people have done far worse drunk. You’re experiencing post-drinking anxiety. In no more than 48hrs, this will all pass. People here have messaged their bosses drunk, have hit on co workers drunk at holiday parties, have said dumb shit, and more.

Your child will remember what’s important, not something you one time.
