On 40 MG Strattera
I (F) got diagnosed with ADHD at 32.
I was having issues getting Adderall. So I asked for a backup for when I don't have Adderall. BUT Strattera does not work like Adderall it needs to be built-up in your system for it to actually work.
I think this community has a lot of cons so let me tell you how I use it and how it helps me.
I take 40 MG in the morning with 5 MG Adderall. If I don't have Adderall than I take it with coffee. Has same effect but hate buying coffee and making the coffee.
When I am off of Strattera, I notice the difference. I have a LOUD inner voice. So it at least keeps me on task and my thoughts are all related to my task. Also I usually forget I am doing but that has stopped as well.
Please note that these are just my opinions and it may be false.
But people are not using Strattera with therapy. I think people should at least try reading the book atomic habits entirely with Strattera.
Ex:
Setting myself up the night before helps me get out of the door faster because I have what I need set up for me so I don't wonder what I need to do.
Same with work, I make little task for a big project to combine them later.
Strattera gives my brain the power to stick through a task even if it's boring.
Just wanted to give people one last method of trying Strattera before calling it quits.
