> I have noticed that there isn't a lot of info out here about adults on this medicine. I have decided to post some of the experiences I have had on Straterra to hopefully generate some additional comments.
I've been taking 80 mg of Strattera for about 3 weeks now. While I do notice a difference as far as focusing a bit better, my forgetfullness and scatterbrained thinking is still there too.
As far as side effects, definitely the dry throat, difficulty urinating and how would I say this, my ejaculation is off kilter. (hope I didn't offend anyone)
My pdoc doesn't know for sure that I have ADD, because I am Bipolar and also have Narcolepsy. He thinks that I might be displaying ADD symptoms with out having the ADD. But nevertheless he treats it the same.
I don't know if taking Provigil has a helping hand in all this, I take 400 mg of that a day for the Narcolepsy. I heard somewhere that Provigil and Strattera have a synergetic relationship, that can only help the situation. I Don't know this for a fact though.
I also take 80 mg of Prozac and 900 mg Lithobid a day as well.
So, as time goes on I will post updates.
