I have a cardiac issue so I was prescribed Strattera rather than a stimulating med (Adderall, etc.). My doctor titrated the dosage over several weeks to 80mgs. once a day. I found it to be very sedating. I remained on 80mgs. for about a month but it did not seem to help with my ADD at all. I was just "dazed" and sleepy. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to improvement.
