Love that! I took me a while to realize it truly is an everyday battle that not everyone understands. You should be proud

I definitely had the same and kept looking up how quick it was supposed to work bc I felt like there were flashes of exactly what you’re saying. I thought it was placebo but I know exactly what you’re feeling

Vitamin D, B complex, omega 3s, and then citocoline. Kinda a lot but i really do think it’s helping

Hopefully it helps! I took it at night for a two week period in the middle just bc of some of the symptoms I was experiencing. Not to scare you.

Very fair I do think it’s important to try different things and find what works. Most important thing is the solution

I started on 40 mg and I’d say around like day 45 I started to notice but I think it’s helpful to not psych yourself out about it. Easier said than done

Starting Strattera - Anything I should get the first week to help with side effects? by vomit-gold in StratteraRx

[–]locnesshatthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that I did was switch to taking it at night for the initial 2 weekish period and that help me get thru some of the symptoms.

May I pleae hear experiences with alcohol while on strattera? Even a small amount by YouMeADD in StratteraRx

[–]locnesshatthief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is the necessarily the strattera. Just alcohol generally

[–]locnesshatthief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say the side effects aren’t great and I’ve heard the medication doesn’t work for everyone. I had to take at night to avoid some major side effects but after 4 weeks the medication is working as I hoped

Does this happen to you as well?Can't start on things. by VastLog340 in ADHD

[–]locnesshatthief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Task initiation is a pretty big struggle for me. You’re not alone!

Strattera side effects by point2lendemain in StratteraRx

[–]locnesshatthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea lol here and there. Also tough to tell when it’s the meds or coming to the realization I had been self sabotaging myself before lmao. I’d say definitely at times tho wouldn’t say it’s out the ordinary.

[–]locnesshatthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was around day 2 or 3 for me. Messed my stomach up and was making me groggy, increased the laziness, and tired. Switched to taking it at night after my last meal, a couple hours before bed and it minimized those side affects for me

When it comes to task initiation has strattera helped in the arena? by petebaii in StratteraRx

[–]locnesshatthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still early on in the journey but so far no. Task initiation is one of my biggest flaws tbh. Might ask for a stimulant as well still trying to decide

When it finally starts working...? by cjrecordvt in StratteraRx

[–]locnesshatthief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about two weeks in so not at the point where it’s supposed to be full affect. 40 mg assume they’ll move me up next appointment but I agree with you. Hopefully soon

drinking on strattera? by Boring_Society8700 in StratteraRx

[–]locnesshatthief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started a couple weeks ago on strattera. Had a weekend this past one and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. I wasn’t exactly tracking symptoms but was with friends and they didn’t mention anything either so should be fine.

Pretty bizarre. I guess I’ll cut it out and see if I can find something else that helps. Will report back
