i can't talk to my psych currently, does anyone have any first-hand experience to know when you've actually overdosed on straterra? i'm on 120 mg a day right now.

i don't feel the effects much and it's been roughly 5 months.

You really ought to talk, to Your Psychiatrist ; He/She is there to HELP YOU...
You need to discuss your dosage with him/her.

When it comes to Medications and Dosage, Everyone is different ; So what's ok for you, maybe far too much, or not enough for someone else.

sushix .... Please talk to your Psychiatrist.. or have a word with the Psych's secretary ; If you feel you really can't talk to your Psych', maybe the secretary, can arrange,for you to talk to someone else?

Your doctor is on-call. You can leave a message and he'll get back to you. He'll probably ask you to come in for a quick visit sooner than your next appointment. He might want to try a different medication.

You say you're not feeling different, but are you having any adverse side effects?

I think sushix meant to say TOLERANCE, not overdose.

Okay your profile does not reveal what country you are from I only have information on the process in America. Most medications if not all of them come with one of those drug information sheets that tell about signs of over dose. If you can not talk to your doctor you may be able to talk to the pharmist. Pharmist can not prescribe drugs however when it comes to the chemical process of medications upon the human body they can be a wealth of information.

I don't know of any medication that takes 5 months to be effective. If this medication isn't effective after 5 months of taking as perscribed then it may not be the right medication for you. This is what the doctor needs to know as you are wasting time and money taking some thing that isn't working for you.

alright, i'll call him when i can, i was just wondering in the mean time if any of you guys had first hand experience.

A little late but it might help someone right? Strattera is an SNRI (Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor) It doesn't cause more norepinephrine to be released rather it lets the neurons soak in the existing amount a little longer. Try to think of plugging the recycling pump in a pool. If you don't have enough norepinephrine to begin with, the medication will not appear to have any effect. Think of the water level in the pool being too low to pump and your trying to slow down a stopped pump. I can only guess that the brain will probably try to compensate by sending in some MAO and causing some serious problems especially if you have a large amount of the SNRI sitting around. Like maybe a coma or some form of waking calm as the MAO attacks the SNRI and your chemicals go haywire.

There are forms of Norepinephrine that can be administered by a licensed health professional but this is dangerous because Norepinephrine is basically adrenaline. I had a phase in high school where I took a lot of aminos and thermogenic supplements. It made the workouts a lot easier but the leauge wouldn't have it. Had I known aabout add then....well we all know where that would lead.

Hope this helps
