> I'm glad to hear most people are doing well on Straterra. I am in my fifth week, and the side effects are lessening. I don't have the problem trying to pee that I had in the beginning. To update those who haven't read the threads since January 2, I am diagnosed with ADD and bi-polar... have been trying different meds since last May. Now I am on Lexapro, Remeron, Gabitril, and 80mg per day of the Straterra. My pdoc is starting to think he may be able to back down on the gabitril. The Straterra is GREAT. I did poorly on the stims... this stuff doesn't hype me up like the stims did. The spaceyness is a bit disconcerting at times, but I hope it goes away as time goes on. Stay tuned...

> JimJim,
I am encouraged Straterra is working well for you. I am on day 12 at 50mg and I'm not sure it's doing anything for me. I'm also having zero side effects. I take 20mg Lexapro as well. I'm not sure if I need to give Straterra more time or up the dose to 80mg.
