Hi all,
Just wanted to let you all know I'm on my second week of 40 mg once a day and doing well in terms of side effects. I still take 72 mg of Concerta a day and will continue on the Concerta until I get to a therapeutic level on the strattera. Today I start 40 mg am and 20 mg pm. After a week or so on that I'll go up to 40 am 40 pm and then to 80 am at which point I'll try it without the concerta and see what happens.For those of you with Adult ADD out there I thought you could relate to my very ADD crazy mistake I made the other day! I was trading my 10 mg pills for my new 40 mg pills in my pill box. I had three pills in my hand and was going to take my Concerta and Strattera but accidentally took 3 Stratteras! So instead of 40 mg I ended up on 120 mg that day! UGH talk about side effects. I felt sick and spacey all day! But it did subside by the late afternoon. Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone else makes such a mistake later in this long road we're all going down.
:-)
