Good news.

After one week, ALL side effects of Strattera disappeared. Yes, this means even the dreaded "sexual dysfunction" that plagued me for a few days.

Mr. Happy is happy once again.

what a hurdle....

Three hours after taking Stratterra, I sensed that something was terribly wrong. Testing and experimentation confirmed my worst nightmare. I was broken in the worst way. I had not been warned. It was a surprise. I was not happy. I was frightened. I had no way of knowing if it was permanent. I was numb.

In desperation, I "reached out" for comfort and reassurance from my friends and my lover. My "trauma" however, was embraced with restrained amusement, followed by a reception of extreme hysterics. I was in a panic. My significant concern and worry, became a hyperfocus for the slightest glimmer of sensation. I tried to conduct myself normally, but my mind was elsewhere. Ever so discretely, deep in empty pockets, testing, testing, testing.

Nothing could allay my fears. I went from panic to feverish. From feverish to frenzy. Time did not exist, and I was in regular contact with god. I was praying, begging, and then making deals. I settled into a quiet vigil for the sacred and holy. Wavering from exhaustion, after one final test, I surrendered to the darkness.

Awakening to the sound of birds, I generated my first thought of the day. "The birds and the bee's". Testing began immediately. Due to complications that should have been expected, the test was quickly aborted. I went to the bathroom.

After using the bathroom, I made a cup of coffee. It was not necessary to run any tests. Throughout my whole body, the familiar, sweet waves of motion have returned in full. The morning sun, is once again revealing life's endless wonders.

Good posts guy, you have given me courage to stick with it for a couple weeks and see if those damn sexual side effects won't vanish :)
