Strattera--how long before you notice results? For those of you taking Strattera, how long was your trial period before you started to notice changes? And how long would you stick with it before trying something new? (I've been on it for about a week and a half, started at 40 mg/day now at 80 -- I thought I noticed a bit easier time in concentrating after a few days, but now I don't notice anything (ie still feeling the constant pull away from whatever I'm doing).

re: Strattera Strattera's effect on me is subtle. Increased focus, easier time engaging self-discipline to do tasks I don't want to but need to do, but still hyperactive and impulsive. No change in personality or problems with too many stimulants. Doctor said some of his patients did't realize that Strattera is having an effect until they stop taking it. If I were you, I'd keep up with it for a whole month. You might need more that 80 mg. I need 100 mg for best effect. Quote
