After a month of giving it the old college try, I found myself more irritable and tense than I've been in years. I took 80 mg Strattera a day and found it incredibly constipating. Did nothing for my depression and my personality turned into the Evil Witch I was before I discovered Prozac 10 years ago. She was NOT a happy person. Anyway, after two days of barely being able to string two words together--I was that tense--I called the pharmacy today to refill my Lexapro and took 10 mg. I'm already less angry at the world. Whatever good my doctor thought Strattera might do for my atypical depression and ADD (can't take stims) wasn't happening. Ah well, sometimes it's good to be reminded that I'm just a bit mentally ill and I haven't been taking meds for frivolous reasons. I'm back in SSRI country.
