Didn't mean to leave you out of the thanks. You were the first to respond, but since that was yesterday, I forgot about your message while composing thanks this morning. Of course yesterday was nothing but a blurr.
Prior to today, it was hard to tell if the spacey lack of focus and other mental/emotional sx were due to sleep deprivation or due to the effects of Strattera. Maybe both, but I think you are on to something, at least for me.
I feel much better today, on all counts, yet I don't believe I slept much more last night than previous nights. So, with three days of 40, one day without, then 18 yesterday, it seems your theory may hold up. The sx seem to be lessening and the benefits (improved focus, etc.) seem to be more prominent. We'll just have to wait more to see for sure. Perhaps this is one way we find out if we are poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6.
I've been reading your messages in this thread, but have seen nothing from you between 2/10 and today. You seemed happy with the earlier results and in todays message you still sound pleased, yes?
Well, thanks for you input,
John
