STRATERRA- Updates?

Posted by Peter S. on February 14, 2003, at 12:47:27

Just checking in to see how people are doing on Straterra. I've been taking 10mg per day because when I went up to 20, I noticed I became irritable. Today I'm going up to 25mg and we'll see what happens.

By the way, I noticed on the package that Straterra is an eye irritant, so if you open the capsules to divide them you should be weary of this. I still think it's kind of sleazy not to make 80mg capsules.

Thanks all for your experiences!

Hi Peter,

I had to go off the strattera for a few days. 40 mg was a bit too strong for me. Plus, I got this nasty virus that kept running my blood sugar down (I'm hypoglycemic too-it's such a great combination with ADD!) so in 3 or 4 days (according to my doc) I start back on 18's again. But this time we will do 18 morning and 18 evening when he increases it on the 27th. Glad to hear that you seem to be doing okay on it. I'm a bit scrambled right now. Got used to feeling great on strattera and being able to think; 3 full days off of it right now and my life is slowly but surely returning to goo. Will report back in after I start taking it toward the end of the week.
