>My daughter started taking 25mg in oct of 03. Shes 12 and now up to 80mg a day and has only had tiredness at first for a week . Into the second week of starting, she realized it's easier to talk in the car when the radio is turned low.That was a wonderful day! Don't let others ,bad experiences scare you . The results more than outway the side effects in some cases. Just think you can always stop taking it.
Well folks, wish me luck....Tomorrow I start 40mgs. From all that I have read here (about that particular 40mg dosage), it makes me nervous. I am a 35 year old female that also takes Effexor XR. The Dr. started me on 25mg for four days and starting tomorrow it will be 40mgs. I see that some folks are saying that they think that Strattera is stronger than the FDA first determined. I guess all I can do is just start the 40mgs and see how I react. I know this med takes about 4-6 weeks for one to see some results and I am very willing to wait for them....I just pray that it helps. I am not worried about not being able to sleep while taking this because I am also on Seraquel (mood stablizer) and the 100mg at bedtime makes me sleep very well so far. I guess I am just a "nervous nellie" and should just wait and monitor how I react once I have been on the 40mgs.
