Zeugma thanks for the feedback. Sounds like the strat is really helping with your job performance. I just recently talked to my pdoc and she agreed that we should try Strattera. After Christmas I will go to the pharmacy and pick the pills up. My doc said that starting out with 10mg would be our best bet. I was wondering how you increased your dosage to what your on now and how long you took it to get the good cognitive effects.
I have read in alot of places that Strat sedates people. Is this maybe just the hyperactive people? I need the opposite of sedation. How has the Strat affected your socialization skills. Hows your Sleep? I sleep 12-13 hours daily when allowed. Maybe the strat would cut down on this. Do you have any depression or anxiety along with the ADD, hows that going if you do. Also did you have any cardiac side effects since you started? I am a little worried because I think the last few years on Ritalin may have screwed up my heart a little.
Sorry about all the questions but I am a little apprehensive as well as excited about starting the strattera.
