ADHD
"I&#039;m a 19 year-old male college student. I&#039;ve been on Strattera 100 mg (another non-stimulant like Intuniv) for the last 4-5 years, but I wanted to try another drug because Strattera is starting to be less effective. While on Intuniv, I&#039;ve noticed that it is doing what it&#039;s supposed to (decrease in anxiety, hyperactivity, and increase in focus), but the side-effects are almost not worth it. I&#039;ve been on Intuniv for two weeks now, and I&#039;ve been on the 3 mg capsule for the last few days. But, I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ll be able to finish out the month due to a number of things. I&#039;ve experienced extreme dry mouth, headaches, INCREASED appetite, and extreme fatigue at awkward hours. I&#039;ve also found it impossible to wake up in the mornings."
