Anyone find that Strattera somehow enhanced their writing skills?

Not in a Shakespearean way, like a cognitive fluency kind of way -- being able to write clearly and quickly without stopping to think much about grammar and other nitpicky things, the end result of which is writing way faster and with higher quality. At least that's happened to me, not sure if that's because I worried too much about how my writing 'sounded' in emails in the past but there ye have it..

Incidentally, I've noticed that here in the Strattera section everyone seems to write with great clarity and fluency and think I may have noticed a difference in the way other drugs seem to 'medicate' people's writing in the other drug forums. I think it'd be interesting to study this possibility closer, lol

Funny, that's exacly the opposite of what happened when I used to take Adderall. I would worry so much about how it "sounded" and would obsess over tiny details even in short emails.

that sounds great!!! can I ask what dosage of Strattera you were taking when you noticed this benefit??? I am currently taking 68mg/day and wondering if I should increase this?? I also am taking dexedrine (20mg/day), but I'm having MAJOR problems writing my dissertation and I can't tell if the Strattera is making it better or worse.


THanks for any advice!!!
