In reply to Strattera--time to work and dosage, posted by Whit on October 15, 2004, at 22:54:15
I started out on 25mg myself, taken before bed. the only thing I noticed was it made me DRUGGED and STUPID the next couple days. made my RLS really bad too. If I had taken 60mg to start I would have gone insane! The side effects quickly dissapeared(along with any good effects) I moved to 40mg, 65 mg, then 80mg. Today I had my first good experience with it (2.5 weeks in). I had been taking 40mg night 25-40mg morning, but last night I skipped my dose and took 80mg this morning. 45 minutues later, I felt 'drugged,' almost like I had taken some OxyContin! The rest of the day I was much more calm, patient, confident and was able to work more dilligently(sp?)... just like I had taken an opiate, coincidentally. But without the dumbing.
Based on this, it seems to be best when taken all at once, in the morning... or perhaps dosage spread morning/midday. Lets see if it lasts for me.
