I’m only on day 2, but I feel so able to concentrate, it’s ridiculous. I know it’s expected to take weeks to start working, but I’m feeling it already. I spent the morning reading wikipedia, catching up with work, and doing laundry that I hadn’t done for weeks. Now, I’m gonna go out to eat at a restaurant with a friend and his kids. Is this what NTs feel like all the time, just able to focus without struggle and the motivation of looming despair??

However, I slept maybe 30 mins last night even though I took 12 mgs of melatonin throughout the night, and my male genitals are not working well. I also feel a bit irritable.

  • Did anyone on Strattera have a similar experience? And did the side effects eventually go away?

  • If so, how long did they take to subside? If not, what did you do about it?

  • Did this ability to focus last too?

    After the super human feeling went away I’m still able to get stuff done I just have to aim my morning before it kicks in

    Look at memes before it’s working? Good luck, you’re going to be fighting yourself all day.

    Eat breakfast listening to music with a task you know needs done when you finish? It’s going to be a productive day indeed.

    Getting stuff done isn’t as easy as it was during those feeling like a super human days but it’s still way easier than before I started the meds.

      omg, I’m learning this as I type. Whatever I focus on in the morning is what’s going to get my attention all day. I’m gonna head out to a coffee shop tomorrow in the morning with my laptop to see if I can get some actual work done. 😆
