Hi All, I have been on Stratterra for about 4 weeks now and I just don't like how I feel. I started with the 25/40/60/ upping every 4/5 days, when I hit 80 I almost broke my neck playing hockey by slamming into the boards. I was very spaced out on the meds and I really think they affected me while playing. My Dr. put me back own to 40 and I still feel like crap. I feel like i'm zeemed on coffee and ready to fall asleep at the same time. I feel very "fuzzy" all day. I have headaches, and sinus issues which may or may not be from the medicine. All this and I don't know if I have had any positive reactions to the medicine. On one hand I feel I have been very productive at work, but it has been a constant push to keep myself going, I just want to sleep throughout the day. So I don't know if it's "working" or even what i should expect if it was working? I have been very irritable and I'm tired of feeling crappy. I don't know what else to say. Good luck to everyone. Thanks

Don't blame you, I've only been on it for 8 days and it's turned my life into a nightmare. Zero energy levels and falling asleep constantly. Can't get anything done, at work or at home, and I don't even think I should legally be allowed to drive while on it.

Strattera is a remarkably effective treatment for any envy of narcoleptics you might have and didn't know about, seems to me reading over this forum it works for very few people.
