Day 2 -- Before TakingWow.... well, that was some night! After taking Straterra for the first time yesterday, I wondered how I would sleep. Interesting! My husband is very sensitive to my movements and he frequently complains that I wake him up. I don't know if that's always because of ME or if he himself is having trouble sleeping. But anyway, in MY HEAD last night I was tossing and turning, waking up frequently and going back to sleep, and generally sleeping VERY fitfully. Not at all pleasant. At one point, I even had a really urgent diarrhea-like cramping and then it almost immediately went away. I woke up around 7:00, as he was waking, and I asked him if any of it had bothered him. He said he never noticed anything! So either he was sleeping VERY soundly or my perception of my "activity" was more in my head than in my body.
I jumped out of bed and took a shower with more than my usual amount of clarity and enthusiasm. That's pleasant. I dunno..... maybe all that discomfort is worth it to feel like this in the morning? Has anyone else had an experience like this?
Not noticing any of the "dryness" that other people have reported.
I'm going to take my second dose now (40mg). I don't look forward to the discomfort I felt yesterday, but I'm hoping that will eventually subside....
