This is my 3rd day on 40 mg (after being on 80 mg for over a year). Yesterday I almost fainted at work. I needed to restrict myself to sitting (I work in a library, shelving books was definately out). This morning I am feeling distant and foggy. I didn't want to wake up (more than usual).
I'm sure that this is side effects of withdrawal (I had lightheadedness when I went on Strattera, too). I'm trying to decide between reducing more gradually (i.e. taking around 60mg for a couple of days) or just toughing this out and getting it over with. I don't have a lot of commitments in the next two days, so I'm leaning towards toughing it out.
I'd love to hear about other people's experiences!
