I have been on Strattera for the past three months. I have adult ADD which was diagnosed about six years ago. I was given the option of using a stimulant or just dealing with it like I'd been doing all my life. It wasn't until I found out about Strattera that I decided to try drugs to control my ADD. Since then, my attention has increased dramatically (since my brain decided to stop changing channels on me) and my performance at work and at home has improved as well. I've had a number of strange side effects (chills as discribed in other threads, painful urination, sleepyness, etc.) I had more side effects when I was taking 80mg in the morning. since then, I've backed off to 40mg in the morning and 25mg at noon. Most of the side efffects decreased after the first month. The rest I've gotten used to and learned to live with given the results I'm having with my ADD.
