Dr Priya Sammani ( MBBS ,DFM )The colorful toys scattered around the waiting room usually brought a smile to Wren's face, reminding her of her son, Leo. But today, they only amplified her inner turmoil. #ADD #Adderall #ADHD #adults #attentiondeficithyperactivitydisorder #copingstrategies #diagnosis #executivedysfunction #hyperactivity #impulsivity #inattention #medication #Ritalin #Strattera #symptoms #therapy #treatment #Vyvanse
The rhythmic ticking of the clock on Dr. Priya's wall seemed to mock Wren's racing thoughts. She was here, again, seeking guidance for her son, Leo. #Adderall #ADHD #ADHDinchildren #ADHDtreatment #amphetamine #dextroamphetamine #dosage #Intuniv #lisdexamfetamine #methylphenidate #nonstimulants #Ritalin #sideeffects #stimulantmedication #Strattera #Vyvanse

MOVED TO After about 9 weeks on #Strattera for #ADHD, iβm getting these WAVES of sadness, straight out of nowhere. Having a really good dinner and then BAM! about to erupt into tears. Never had anything like it before.
Anybody else have that with Strattera?

Once again having extremely vivid nightmares and sleep paralysis so either I'm majorly internalizing anxiety that I'm unaware of, or these new ADHD meds are triggering them. π«
Anyone else had weird side effects with #Strattera?
HalBeen on #Strattera for about a month. Not noticing improvements for executive function or focus yet. Seem to be more depressed. I will give it another month but this is discouraging. Booooooo. #ADHDproblems
ilinamoratoSo I started a journey today. #ADHD #strattera #atomoxetine https://epicwhim.com/personal-updates/adhd/639-my-adult-adhd-experience-day-one

:EA DATA. SF:I was on #Temazepam for a couple of years for #insomnia. I quit taking it at the end of February. I think I'm finally sleeping normally again. I was back on track this previous weekend and by next week, I should be caught up.
My insomnia was mostly caused by #Anxiety. My inability to stay asleep was due to undiagnosed #SleepApnea. Now that I am wearing a machine for that, I sleep through the night.
I have been given the tools I need to manage my anxiety enough to get some sleep by a Sleep Psychiatrist. She's given me pointers to stop the thinking spiral when it starts. I just have to remember to use them. It's like #CBT lite (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - not the other meaning).
As for the #ADHD, I had side-effects from #AdderallXR and side effects from #Strattera. I'm going to wing it for a couple of months. I can already feel a big difference at work. It is so difficult for me to stay on task or pay attention in meetings where I'm not presenting. If I listen to music while working, it is much easier for me to stay on task. What other tips do y'all unmedicated #ADHD folks have?
Anyway, I feel more like myself. I feel calmer and more in control, even though my mind is a wandering wreck sometimes.

@coleens_ this is probably TMI but you do you.
I'll go next.
Since I started taking #Strattera (#Atomoxetine) in January for my #ADHD I've been extremely constipated. It's so bad, I'm drinking dairy to trigger my #LactoseIntolerance on purpose.
I'll be asking my doctor if Strattera is right for me later this week.
In the past two months I've had three medication changes.
I've gone from #Adderall XR for my #ADHD to #Strattera / #Atomoxetine which has made my #insomnia worse and isn't providing as much benefit as Adderall did (but the Adderall was making me bitchy and, since I didn't take it on weekends, worthless on weekends where I'd just sleep). It also makes me extremely constipated.
I've switched from #medroxyprogesterone to just #progesterone which seemed to improve my mood but made me a bit more emotional.
Then I just switched from oral #estradiol to once weekly injections.
I feel like crap. My emotions are a garbage fire on a roller coaster, I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep (I'm not sure if I'm getting to REM when I am asleep), I get so sleepy during the day that it effects my ability to do my job. My stomach hurts and I've gained about 10 pounds.
Also seasonal allergies so my throat hurts from all the drainage.
That's it. I just wanted to rant to Internet strangers.
I'm on vacation next week which I desperately need. We aren't traveling or doing anything special. My birthday and my wife's birthday are both next week.
We don't travel because there is still a pandemic and she's high risk.
AinebetUpdate - I went off this medication, 3 days before my doctor finally got back to me. Within 24 hours, I felt nearly 100% better. No more crying uncontrollably, no more wondering if I was going to feel terrible forever, no more despair. I realize #Strattera works great for some people, but for me it sent me to depths of depression I hadn't seen in decades. Listen to your body. Look out for yourself. Take good care out there. #AdderallShortage #ADHD
