Strattera is making me tired and a bit zoned out. I'm on a starter regiment that begins with 25mg for one week, then up from there week by week.
Today is day two and the sedative effect is kinda weird. If I'm sitting on the sofa not really doing much then I feel like I could fall asleep but if I get up and move I feel more energized. Another side effect is that I'm hungry more than usual. People usually say that this drug makes you not hungry. The good part is that I've been snacking on fruits and other healthy stuff because I've heard that it's a bad idea to eat a lot of refined sugar when on this med because of the effect on the brain. I think I'm gonna start taking it at night instead of the morning. I've read other ADHD forums where people have done that for exactly the same reason and it seems to help. When you wake up the med is still in your system but most of the sedative effects have been mitigated by a good night's sleep.
Anyone else have experiences with this medication that they care to share?
