I should perhaps add that my life isn't entirely stable either, so I know that plays a large part in everything.
I lost my job and moved back in with my parents. I'm trying to work on packing up my things to get ready to move. And also do job applications, interviews, and apply to go back to school. My brother got deployed right before Thanksgiving and I had a relationship end.
So I have been all over the place emotionally. Sometimes I wake up as many as 6x per night with bad dreams or just sudden anxiety so bad I throw up. So sometimes I just feel kind of "out of it." But so far I can't say the Strattera is doing much.
We'd kind of hoped the Strattera would act more as an antidepressant, and also me gather myself and be able to focus and follow through and get things done. I have good days and bad days, as expected. But I'm having more good days than bad days now. But sometimes even with the meds it's hard to get out of bed before noon and feel good and positive about my life. I just kind of felt like things were headed in a better direction prior to this.
