I'm new to the post and new to strattera. Recently diagnosed with adult ADD and started with 40mg for 3 days. Two hours after taking the first dose, it felt like an electrical current had been turned on. I wondered if it was the coffee, but I only had one cup and normally have 3. I suppose it could've been placebo effect, but didn't even consider the strattera until later since I was told it had to build up. I haven't had that rush since. I've been on 60mg for 10 days and have noticed I'm much more focused at work and just have an overall feeling of well being. Again, it could be the placebo effect. Either way, it's an improvement. The only drawback is I crash around 5:30 like clock work. My N.P. plans to up my dose to 80mg in another 10 days and I wonder if a split dose will help me get thru the whole day. 40mg am/40mg pm. Has anyone done this? Is this the way it's done? Does anyone else have the energy crash?
Thanks, Ava
