Hi TenMan,I've only been on Straterra for four days, so I'm not an expert. But from what I've been able to glean here, each person's experience has been different. It sounds to me, though, that the people who have chosen to "wait out" the side effects are glad that they did. I have been posting a sort of diary about my experience and I'm going to write about my fourth day now in a new thread. My reason for choosing Straterra over one of the stimulants was that I just didn't want to put that kind of substance into my body if I could at all avoid it. I don't know what my final decision will be at this point. It's only my opinion, but I would try not to let fear get in the way of trying something that could potentially be very beneficial for you! I wish you the best!

> Anyone have any new updates on strattera? I have a sample bottle of 40mg. sitting in my bathroom and am afraid to take it due to some of the side effects I have been hearing about. I also take 60mgs. of adderall a day. My doc wants me to taper off the adderall and start the strattera. Is it really better to switch or should I stay on the adderall. Thanks!
