After 15 years on and off various SSRI's, my dysthymia to depression took a turn to total ADD.
For once I didn't have the despair component of my symptoms. After a bit of whining-not too much-- I got my OB-GYN! (it was time for my annual) to prescribe some Strattera--his idea, though from the paging through the PDR that he was doing, he obviously hadn't prescribed much of it--surprise to me, I thought lots of perimenopausal types suffered from ADD.Well short story long, this stuff kicked in THE DAY I took it, and I feel like a million bucks.
I've probably been able to say that oh ...twice in the last 20 years???
Side effects are mild nausea when I take it, dry mouth, and exhaustion when it wears off about 2:00. I expect that last effect to disappear when I start taking a second pill around noon.
An added bonus is that this stuff makes orgasms a EZ. I had read that if you're focused that helps.
That's my story, and I hope I can stick to it!
