I just jumped on Strattera 3 days ago and can already feel it helping with cognitive clarity and emotional regulation. But after some deep divei saw that it can cause lethargy and depression in some people which seem to be correlated to the partial kappa opioid agonism of ones of atomoxetines metabolites. For anyone that had positive effects with strattera, could you despite all benefits, feel it making your mood in some ways worse, did you maybe even experienced depression or occasional dysphoric feelings? As great as it seems to work in some areas, it would be a major downside if it would generally lower your mood making you unable to feel pleasure.

The daily requirement are about 4 grams and if you dont eat multiple bananas, avocados or a kilo of potatoes a day its really difficult to hit that requirement. I just noticed i probably eat only about 1 gram per day, while also eating too much sodium which screws the recommended 2:1 potassium to sodium combo. This can lead to high blood pressure, lethargy and mood difficulties. Any tips for hitting the daily requirement more frequently? Is it really that bad to supplement with it or do i really have to change my diet?
