Default Re: Strattera(ADHD med) making me feel like crap

That's my whole issue.. ADD can be so subjective in how it's diagnosed anymore that sometimes I think I could have it, other times I think I'd just use the meds as a crutch because I'm lazy.

With how new some of these drugs are, there hasn't been a chance to see long term what effects there could be too, which I find kind of scary. When you start a kid on ADHD meds at age 5, what is their brain chemistry going to be like at 50?

If you aren't getting sleep or eating and it's pretty extreme, maybe the doc was wrong to start you out on such a high dose and maybe you could scale it back some. And then maybe only use it when you really need it for school and whatnot, and don't use it the other 90% of the time? Again, things to discuss with your doctor.
