I started about 11 days ago. For the first 3-4 days I used it in conjunction with Dexedrine in order to "wing" myself off the stimulant.
My first week has been OK. I notice that I get very hungry now, all the time. I think because I get bored so I just eat. I'm thin anyway so its not that big a deal. I feel I have lost some of the motivation I used to get with the Dexedrine. I still find myself yawning alot and a bit sleepy. That is the bad part because when I feel that way I don't feel like doing much and don't tend to stay on task. I'm thinking that it may also be because I have not been exercising regularly. So I want to start exercising and see how it goes after that. I do get the dry mouth on occasion.
Since many people here have recommended staying on it for at least a month before giving up I will do the same.
Another good part is that I with Dexedrine I almost get too caught up in the things that I do. With Straerra I feel more like myself. With Dexedrine I tended to over work and forget about doing the things that make me happy. Sometime I found it hard to sit still and do nothing. Although strange enough I was able to meditate very well while taking Dexedrine. If I go back on someday I will reduce the amount I take.
