> I'm sure I'll be the only one to have such a drastic response-- not that I'm special, just demented. It's getting so that I don't even believe myself anymore. My doctor said he was giving me *pediatric* doses of stattera (what everyone starts on I think 18mgs.). I took *one* the day before yesterday. It just felt so strong and chemical-ly to me for the entire day. Bad taste in my mouth and a weird, not even necessarily speedy but just weird kind of energy. At some points I thought it might be really good, and at some points I thought I'm never going to touch this stuff again. When it started to wear off I did feel a little depressed. I've been scared to go near it again. I think I prefer Ritalin.
Kara Lynne,
Fwiw, sounds very much like my experience w/reboxetine - I think both are snri's? - ... edgy kind of energy, but didn't feel good, bad taste in my mouth, etc. Kind of like effedrine, but stronger, and not in a good sense...
