I started taking Straterra a few days ago and I just feel wiped out. Like I just got up from a two-hour nap. It seems to work okay for attention, but one of the side benefits I got from Adderall was a mild energy boost. (I also have excessive daytime sleepiness.)
Has anyone else had tiredness from Straterra and, if so, did it get better after talking the med longer?
Thanks. 😴
keep on it! Itade me a tad tired at first, but got better w/time. What dosage are you taking?
It made my energy levels fluctuate in weird ways, definitely more tired across the board. I seem to remember that improving or leveling out, but then it increasingly blurred my vision, so I stopped that one.
DUDE! I just started starters 5 days ago! I’m having the same issue. It has gotten a bit better by taking it at night instead (like my doctor suggested) of the morning, and making sure I get some mild exercise in the morning. Keeping myself physical and busy does help.
I do love how I do t feel out of control antsy anymore, but I almost feel zombie-fied. It helps me to label my feelings and be aware of myself more. Only thing it doesn’t do is help me to pause before talking, so I still make social mistakes.
My son used to take Strattera, and yes, when he first started taking it, it made him super tired. That tiredness wore off for him after a couple weeks (I don't remember exactly how long it took...it's been several years since he first started).
