My grandson takes it and he does fine, no problems, the only side effect is
he loses weight, no matter how much he eats.

Those can be symps of other things too, did you see a psychiatrist who
diagnosed you with something in particular to put you on straterra? My
daughter was on it for a while too but it didn't help her but everyone is
different.

Yes I have been on it since 2005, no problems. Doc says should be no
problems using after surgery. May lower dosage

days. Good luck Tammi

I don't take it yet. My Neuro pshy doctor wants ne to take for your same
issues and I also have that attebtion defcit disorder. He things I will
function better during the day. One side affedt is loosing weight and that
is a good thing for me. My neice is 13 years old and has been on for a few
months and she dose not need to loose weight. She was getting to tiny so
they took her off of it. I am going to start taking it next week when I see
my PCP,,,,

Maybe it is not the right medicine for you. Ask if there is something else
you can try. Or maybe the dosage is not right. I suffer from depression and
mood disorder (bipolar) and you would not believe the differant meds I have
tried and disliked the side affects. Good Luck!

I have been taking Straterra for a while now for my ADHD. I take it for
the concentration portion. I am very happy with it. I also take an
antidepressant for the severe mood swings. I have not had the bypass yet.
I am schedule for June 3rd. I have talked to my doctor and I am prepared
to adjust my meds post op. I don't know how the straterra will fare as it
is dispensed in capsule form. Good luck

What an interesting question and history. It is nearly identical to mine.
I did not try Strattera, but was on Provigil and Ritalin at the same time,
and they did nothing to keep me awake. I have been so so many doctors and
have had so many tests, and they don't know why I am so sleepy. If you are
interested in exchanging conversations via email, please let me know.
Thanks.
