Strattera caused a mood-lifting effect for me right from the first 25 mg dose. But I would NOT increase the dose too fast, because it can also cause nausea, dry mouth, etc., and (in my experience) it took a while to get over these side effects. You might try moving up in increments of 25 mg/ week or so. The target dose of 80 mg/day appears to be too high for many people, based on my experience and numerous reports here.
I really liked it for a while, but then the positive effects seemed to wear off and other side effects (e.g., speech difficulties etc.) took over. It was just too weird for me, even though it seemed promising at first, and others do very well with it.
