I have not had mood swings -- this time around.
I'm not certain if I mentioned this but while on the Strattera about three months ago for the first time (at 80mgm) I had what was a "mini-menopause", complete with vaginal bleeding. (I was finished with all of that 12 years ago) I insisted that it was the medication, but my psychiatrist insisted that it couldnt be. So --- because I did have some positive effect the first time, I was willing to try it again -- so far so good and I am at the place where the "difficulty " occurred the last time.
