So who here noticed after taking Strattera that suddenly they were way, way more able to look people in the face, recognize their expressions and communicate with their souls essentially when speaking to them?

its quite the difference for me after taking Strattera. Can't believe I'm only now thinking to ask about this actually.

So I wonder why this would happen. I personally can think of two reasons: that Strattera affects the "fight or flight" reaction and perhaps I'm only now not flighting from facial contact -- and also the fact that ADD and Autism are related, and of course autistic people don't connect facially, and the Strattera is able to fix that aspect of it for me. or those are the same thing or something. insight? thoughts? experience?

Don't know if I'm communicating with people's souls, but I can say it's easier to look people in the eye when we talk. For years before I was diagnosed, it was one of those things I had to force myself to do-- like sitting up straight to have good posture. My eyes would wander, I'd remind myself, but then if I got onto some sensitive topic my eyes would shift again. I don't think I ever looked anyone in the eye during a conversation until someone told me that I didn't when I was in college. She said it creeped her out-- was not a friend! But it was the first time I even realized it. After that I always made the effort-- not hard to do, just easy to forget.

Now since starting the meds it's a piece of cake. I don't think it's my imagination-- it came to me suddenly after a few days of taking Strattera that I was naturally looking people in the eye. Don't have any answers as to why, but it's weird to think a pill that keeps a couple of l'il old chemicals outside the neurons for a little longer can have this effect on where I look when I talk. And even weirder that it's the SAME from person to person.
