Hello!
My question is while I've read somewhere 100mgs is usually the maximum daily dosage, and that higher dosages haven't really been tested or the results of dosages above 100mgs didn't appear to be significantly different than the effects of 100mgs, does anyone here take a dosage above 100 mgs? I certainly haven't read anywhere that it's dangerous, and after 5 months of strattera (first 40, then 80, along with bupropion for anxiety - i have adhd-inattentive and a general anxiety disorder) while there were some immediate good effects, and while my anxiety is certainly better, I feel like my progress with treating my adhd has only slightly improved at all and progress seems to have completely stalled. I use to be on ritalin and while I don't want to go back to that, (long story) I miss the mentally able and awake feeling I had to be able to harness and organize my thoughts, which I do not have now and am a lump on a log like I was before I started taking meds. I am going to demand that I start 100mgs next time but I wonder if that will be enough.
Sorry for the long post but any help would be appreciated!!
