ADHD
"I posted regarding my son&#039;s good experience, now for my own. After struggling with distraction all my life, which I thought was normal and many in my family are the same, I didn&#039;t get evaluated until after my son&#039;s experience. I was also evaluated and was started on Strattera. The first thing I noticed was feeling increased thirst, some constipation, loss of appetite. I lost about 5lbs the first month (yeah!) and found that I felt more &quot;calm&quot;, less irritable and less flustered at work. I am a FNP in a busy office and I was more on task, less easily distracted on the medicine (80mg). Waiting for a new script, I was off for 2 weeks and the old symptoms came back, forgetfulness, fidgeting, on-edge. The med has been great for me!"
