I guess I'll have to start tagging for serious things.

The Day in the Life of a Dupe
I was diagnosed with ADHD on Monday, and today I started Day 3 of my life on Strattera.
I'm not quite as drowsy as I was yesterday after taking it, but maybe it was the sleep I got. Maybe it's my body adjusting. I'm not really sure and I haven't been on it long enough to know or really to see an effect.
I've heard the side effects and none of them are very pretty. Let's take a look at them, shall we?
Common Reactions to Strattera in children and teenagers
- Mood swings
- Tiredness
- Dizziness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Decreased appetite
- Upset stomach
Common side effects to Strattera in adults
- Sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, ejaculatory problems, impotence)
- Constipation
- Dry mouth
- Nausea
- Decreased appetite
- Dizziness
- Insomnia (trouble sleeping)
- Menstrual cramps
- Problems passing urine
I've only had the tiredness so far, and I'm not too far from teenage life to be considered susceptible to that, I bet. God knows I don't LOOK older than a teenager (a young one. Such is life.).
I'll try to keep this as a testament to how it works, how I feel on it, and if I think it's working. Consider this my ADHD blog.
