to all experiencing sleepyness at weird times; when i was on strattera i had the same type of thing. i took my dose at night before i went to bed and it seemed to wake me up so i was resless all night. when i got up in the morning i was ok, but then by afternoon i would be dead tired. so i decided that if im awake when i want to sleep and want to sleep while im awake, then maybe taking my dose at the opposite time would do the trick.... so instead of 11:00 pm, id take it at 11:00. this def helped....
the other thing that i realized was that i would be so busy in the morning doing stuff that i wouldnt eat very much at all. and since i never really fest super hungry on strattera i didnt eat when i was supposed to. i realized that not eating at the prober times during the day made my add symptoms worse and i didnt even realize it, i just blamed it on the meds! so my advise is MAKE SURE YOU EAT RIGHT! because you have no idea what kind of effect food can have on you even if you dont feel hungry! changing my diet helped my add symptoms so much, and it seems like such a non important thing! so to everyone having problems, try that before other meds!
