Strattera isn't a stimulant, and the benefits are "supposed" to last 24 hours, hence we can supposedly take it once a day. I'm on 40 mg. for ADHD, which I take at night, because it makes me tired. I have an anxiety component along with ADHD, and I found by the second day that it completely takes my unease or anxiety/emotional overreactions away, BUT, it seems sedating, so taking it at night has helped me a lot with lessening the fatigue. I'm hoping I can start noticing some improvement in executive function type ADHD symptoms when I go to 60 mg. in a few days.
I hope night time dosing helps you. (What are you taking Strattera for?)
MamaB, if you're out there, how are you doing on the 80 mg. dose of Strattera?? Is it helping your ADHD??
