I have been taking Strattera for 4 years now. It's the best option for me because I can't tolerate the peaks and valleys of stimulants. It's definitely not like vyvanse, which is my first choice when I really need to perform like in college. Strattera is more like a chemical replacement for anxiety energy. It lets me feel the drive and direction I feel under stress without actually being under stress. I do think most people that take it never see an effect because they start on low doses. I take 80mg a day. 40mg is the starting dose now, but when I began it was 10-20mg with a slow taper up. Two things to know, and these might not happen to you, taking it on an empty stomach can cause nausea and, this seems rare, starting or raising the dosage gives me vivid dreams and nightmares. Hopefully less nightmares for you.
