I was just wondering about how in previous posts people were saying to wait for about 6 weeks to evaluate how Strattera is working. Is the the 6th week when all the side effects go away or when the Strattera starts to increase its effectiveness, ie focus and concentration.
I barely have any bothersome side effects. The two I have noticed are dry skin and really dilated pupils. Friend have noticed the dilated pupils and thought I was on some kind of crazy drug. My eyes almost look totally black now! I thought this side effect would probably be pretty common because of neuroepinephrines effects on the sympathetic nervous system but havent heard anyone talk about it.
Back to the 6th week mark, so what happens? Side effects go away? increased effectiveness? or sideeffects go away so you can increase to an effective dose? I am at 20mg and was wondering wether to go up or just wait 6 weeks to see what happens.Any advice would be appreciated.
