I ended up getting a suspicious call from a person who claimed to be my cousin. He claimed that his car broke down. How did he get my number? He did not provide me with his name. The callee id was blocked. So I told him to call back in a half an hour. I then drove over there, and after allot of searching, did not find any car matching his description. I am glad that I did not warn him that I was coming. I went home, let the dog in, and locked the front door. When I went outside to walk the dog, I carried protection. Nothing has happened, which is a good thing,
I have been feeling depressed today. I have not been practicing my piano. I have been scatter-brained. I just want to sleep until I feel better. However, tomorrow morning, I need to pick up my daughter for work.

I took Strattera before and I didn't get tremors/shaking, but it did make me feel tired and anxious. It was a weird drug for me. I ultimately went off of it because (1.) it was weird as I said, and (2.) it didn't help me with concentration. I'm better off with a stimulant (in my case, Ritalin).
Not to be insulting about the drug, but if you look up reviews, most people say that Strattera causes problems instead of helping. Only a small handful of people actually say it works. But I've read that it acts more like an "antidepressant" type of med (in terms of its mechanism of action) compared to stimulants and other traditional ADHD meds.
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon so that you're able to practice playing your piano.
