So I finally got my ADHD diagnosis earlier this month - glad to finally have it and an explanation for my struggles. Today I had an appointment with a psychiatrist who recommended and prescribed Strattera (actually I think it is the generic) - but I noticed it says it can make you dizzy or drowsy and to be careful if you are driving... has anyone had trouble with drowsiness that would make driving dangerous? It sounds like a precaution - not a definitely don't drive - just be careful... I have to drive to work - close to 5 miles so not far...
I just picked up the prescription today so will start it in the morning...so I don't yet know how it affects me. He started me on a really low dose (10mg) and will up it later after he sees how I tolerate it...
If anyone has experience with Strattera and side effects or experiences I should watch out for I'd be interested to know what to expect. This is new to me. Thanks in advance! I'd also be interested to know if it worked for you and how you knew it was working/what differences you saw when taking it. The doctor said it takes awhile for it to build up in your system and I may not notice anything at first especially at such a low dose - but I'd been interest in any info or advice. Thanks
