Does strattera wear off? Can you crash

[4mygrls]

on strattera? The reason I ask is that at about 7:00pm I start to get unbelievably exhausted. I can't function. I am so tired I want to cry. I know it's the strattera. so can it wear off and leave you wiped out? also, i noticed that my body aches. my legs, knees, thighs, arms are all tired. I don't know that the strattera is doing much for me. and sadly my pdoc wont put me on a stimulant. he thinks i had a drug problem before though i didn't and my husband can attest to that. i tried cocaine as a teengager but never got addicted. whatever. i'm a bit down now cuz i just got a job and have to work nights and last night was my first night. i got very tired and when i get real tired and my body starts to relax i start to get motor tics. my face started getting tics and of course that started me panicking not knowing what else was going to start. I felt horrible.

I felt drunk, muscularly, on strattera. Just looped. I kept try to get the effect of 18 hours after taking it, without having to live through the 6 hours after taking it or the 6 hours before takin it again.

People for whom it works well sometimes have side effects that are troubling, but get over them to their satisfaction.

Good luck.

I did put a very small amount of stimulant with them... i went down from 30 mg of Adderall to 5 or 10 per day with Straterra, which kept me from falling asleep, but left me feeling motionaless and zombie like.

my daughter takes this to....7am.....by three pm shes boucingin of the walls...its called rebounding. the meds only stay in your system 6 hours. then you come off them. i was told this is normal. and perhaps i need to talk to her doc about taking it twice a day.....but then i was told she would most likely end up taking something to help her to go sleep doing this.....its so odd...its like no one med is right....and you most always have to have a second from what im reading....
