In reply to Day 2 Strat -- feel like dopey dwarf » bookgurl99, posted by bookgurl99 on May 14, 2003, at 9:10:57
Today is my 8th day on Strattera. For the first 4 days (on 18mg) I was a zombie, too. I felt like I was moving in slow motion. I had no emotion, in fact, my husband and I went on vacation to celebrate my birthday and during the ride up he kept asking my why I wasn't excited??? I noticed I was just sitting there looking straight ahead with no emotions. Inside I was somewhat excited, but I had no desire to goof around or let my emotions out. (It was almost like I was to shy to talk) I also noticed on day 1 and 2 that I would be sitting at my desk at work with my arms crossed just staring at my computer. I had to snap out of it!! I have also distanced myself from others, not going to work luncheons, making excuses to get away from people. And as far as better focus or attention, it is lacking! I haven't even attempted to finish up any projects at work, my bills are sitting on my coffee table untouched. I am not very happy with strattera right now. I am on it for ADHD, and it is the first med I've tried. I go back to the dr. May 20 so we'll see what she says.
