i& #39;ve started taking #strattera for a few days and i& #39;ll be writing my experience in this thread. pardon my english.
i& #39;ve started with 25 mg, which adds to the 600 mg of #seroquel i already take for my #bpd diagnosis.
improvements i& #39;ve noticed so far: i can build a longer "chain of thoughts" and can read longer, both without losing my mind to daydreaming.
for example, finally I can mentally pray the Our Father without breaking into daydreaming halfway. also i can notice this while praying. i& #39;m so proud of this...
i also can read longer texts without distraction, but not for much time.
the pill strengthens my mind but it does not makes me immune to common distractions like internet or music. in other words, i still have to battle to avoid these distractions and can& #39;t do two things at the same time... i have to explore this these days.
disadvantages: atomoxetine makes me slightly sleepy in the mornings, and seroquel also makes me sleepy at night... also, both are very pricey.
i hope this thread helps someone. nothing better than having a diagnosis. i have another one with this same info but in Spanish because there& #39;s not much info of #adhd in Spanish. feel free to correct my English. Thank you.
