In reply to Re: I like Strattera - PM DOSING AVOIDS SLEEPINESS, posted by Torque on July 13, 2004, at 22:06:50
I tried PM dosing the last two nights and it is making a major difference. When I took 80 mg of Strattera in the morning I was fatigued. I then tried 40 mg in morning and 40 mg at night in which I felt relaxed all day. I then tried 80 mg at night and it's working really sweet. I am awake all day.
I still have some insomnia so p-doc put me on ambien for awhile. I dream like a kitten on Ambien. I also take 400 mg of lamictal at night and 300 mg of Wellbutrin during the day to energize me.
When I take strattera in morning I tend to eat more. When I take it at night it curbs my appatite nicely along with the Wellbutrin.
I am determined to try this strattera for 3 to 6 months to really give it a chance. I will suffer through the side effects so that I do not miss a potential opportunity.
I am a little discouraged with all this med taking. These message posts are keeping me motivated. It really gets "old" experimenting with meds all the time.
