> Anyone have any new updates on strattera? I have a sample bottle of 40mg. sitting in my bathroom and am afraid to take it due to some of the side effects I have been hearing about. I also take 60mgs. of adderall a day. My doc wants me to taper off the adderall and start the strattera. Is it really better to switch or should I stay on the adderall. Thanks!
You have to be patient and give it time. The side effects do go away but it takes a couple of months, even the dry mouth is getting better for me. I am at 120mg and I love it. I take it for depression and anxiety not ADD but I am glad I waited it out. I have been trying to find the right med for me for over 6 months and I finally am happy with Strattera.
