In reply to Re: What Strattera dose is too low/high, help.. » ben12, posted by Viridis on August 20, 2003, at 23:54:15
I started Straterra 5 days ago. My MD gave me 4 4packs of 18 mgs, and a jar of 40 mgs. He really didn't give me dosages. Sort of take these, then take these. I have taken 18 mgs a night for 5 nights. The dry mouth is gone, and most of the bitchy/impatient feeling, and sleepiness is gone. I'm thinking of going to 40 for my second ( and maybe third, depending on side effects) week, then up to 58, I guess for 9 days, cause I'll have 9 18mgs left, then up to 80. I guess the idea is to get accustomed to each increase, meaning have fewer side effects. Any opinions? And yes, I know I should call the DR., but I'll bet he knows less about the stuff than I do at this point, and since I don't have insurance I'm not willing to pay him for advice he seems to pick out of thin air. Thanks in advance for your advice.
