Hi, well that's the problem. I was lethargic BEFORE I started the Strattera. Now it's even worse. Yesterday was the only "normal" day I had (despite throwing up) because I took L-tyrosine which gave me a boost.
Today I took both doses and experienced extreme tiredness. No nausea. But I am so tired to begin with I don't how much the Strattera is contributing to it. I feel a little more alert once it wears off so I know it is adding to my tiredness. If I get any calmer I will be in coma.
Sigh. What did that psychopharmacologist think this would be a good med for me?

> I tried Strattera, and it really worked for me as an ADD med. I was more alert, on task, in the moment etc. I couldn't take it because it made my very tired, and I felt drugged through the day. I tried it for two months and had to move on to Concerta, which I am trying for one month right now.
> The Strattera did make me VERY thirsty, and a little dizzy and s l o w at first, but that deminished over time. I felt very calm, and people noticed how calm I had become. It was nice, because I'm an active, always moving around person. I would like that part back also. I guess I can't have it both ways. Sigh! -L
