I have been on Wellbutrin SR 400mgm a day for about two and a half years at first it REALLY addressed the ADD well, but that effect is much less now. About a month ago My doctor started me on Strattera. I was fine at the lowest dose, but as soon as it was increased, I became anxious and almost paranoid. I also had PROFUSE sweating and some minor vaginal bleeding.(I am 60 years old and 10 years post-menopause.) My p-doc insists that the Straterra couldn't have anything to do with the vaginal bleeding ( I am not as convinced).
Well, I started the Straterra again two days ago, and what a difference! Minimal sweating and about a 50% increase in motivation and ability to focus! I plan to stay on the very low dose as long as it keeps working. What happened? I have no idea, but at least it got me a thorough GYN checkup, including a pelvic ultrasound --everything was normal.
I will keep you posted. MB
