Hello All
I was diagnosed with ADHD this past week after ten years of being treated for depression. Nothing worked and although at times the antidepressants worked, I still had no "drive". I have just been put onto Straterra and took my second dose today. I'm quite a big guy, so my initial dose is 60mg and will become 150mg from next week.
This stuff costs a fortune in South Africa and has only been here for a month. I was hoping that I could have some feedback from those of you who have been on it for a while. I want to know when I will:
1. feel the effects of this stuff working on me.
2. feel "different". What am I supposed to expect here? What will I feel like?
3. feel motivated and disciplined.
Hope you can help me out. I'm a 27yo guy if that makes any difference.
Thanks
Jon
