Strattera can cause depression? How so? Is this common? It was once intended to be an AD and is still considered by some to be one, just not recognized by the FDA as such.
Maybe I should consider stopping my Strattera if it may be adding to my depression. I also have horrible insomnia and anxiety,(so I'm taking Lunesta and Xanax) which I know it doesn't help with.
I remember having a huge burst in energy, motivation, and concentration when I first began it 5 months ago. That has since subsided. I couldn't sleep for the first 2 weeks and suspected it added to anxiety, but since I'm prone to both, it's hard to tell.
I'm in college and need to study a lot.I just worry that stopping will make me tired, lathargic, and unmotivated. I just worry that stopping will make me tired, lathargic, and unmotivated. Part of me wonders if increasing the dose would help, while the other part wants to go off completely.
