strattera

Avatar m tn Does strattera give any false positive reading for a urine or hair follicle test? Would it come up as a amphetamine or methamphetamine, or any other illegal substance?
Avatar f tn My doctor has me on welubturon 150mg, strattera 25mg and klonopin 1mg. The klonopin for sleep. I love the way the other two make me feel throughout the day. Focused, happy. However, I work for a gym and my physical abilities are very important as they are my job. Ever since I've started the strattera, I'm only able to give about 60% and I still feel flu'ish. Weak, sick, cold sweats. That's not me. They want me to try this for three weeks.
Avatar m tn ve been on every antidepresant under the sun and have HATED every one. Strattera does the job without any noticeable negative effect but because it isn't the "norm" I can't use it for.that reason. Needless to say I am sitting here close to crying because I don't want to go back to feeling weird and akward again. I enjoy being around other people and don't want to give that up either. Has anyone else had this reaction with strattera?
Avatar m tn or ? If you google strattera you can see that it does not immediately effect you like a stimulant medication will. So its possible that this is what is going on and you need to give it some more time. At any rate, you should always remain in good communication with your doctor. He needs to know what is going on. Also, he should be experienced with his patients using strattera, so should be able to tell you, what to expect. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I have adhd/anxiety/ibs-d. I was on librax for two years and did not know it had librium. My fault for not researching the medicine. After I realize that I am developing a tolerance I stop taking it and try something else. My GP thinks my ibs is because of my adhd\anxiety but I haven't been on medicine for it since college. Starts out with my former medicine, strattera, but when I would take it I felt my heart was out of control and my blood pressure went up.
Avatar n tn HI molly I am on strattera and I have zero side effect. However, I have a friend who has been on strattera and had to stop it because of the itch. Tell your doctor asap.
Avatar n tn Not being familiar with the properties of Strattera what does it do . .is it a muscle relaxer as it works for his ADD condition? Just curious as i really don't have an answer but trying to figure it out with you .. there are some other great people here who may have ideas and even some products outside of Prevacid are mentioned in the archives worth looking into perhaps. Could it be the combo of the two meds are causing the reflux ?
Avatar n tn Your son is too young for them to classify him as bi-polar, but ODD with the mood swings sounds more like that is the diagnosis you might be looking at, I am not a doctor, but you may want to ask. Good luck. Stratterra is something I have been pushing for my daughter, but they don't feel it is quite right for her. Hope you find your answer.
Avatar f tn Recess (physical activity) is proven to be one of the best things for a child with either adhd or spd. Does your son have an IEP or 504. If not I can give you guidelines. It is something that you want to get going as soon as possible . I think seeing an OT is very possible. And I still am having problems with a doctor prescribing the meds that have been prescribed given the original ADHD diagnosis.
Avatar m tn Yeah, so when they start working do they stop you been confused and slow in the head ? Do you feel more esablished as a person ? Do you act and think quicker ? It's just I'm hoping these change my life for the better. I have an inteligent mind but I find it hard to express in front of people because of the a anxiety and paranioa feeling so I stutter sometimes and it all comes out wrong.
209987 tn?1451935465 I don't know, they may allow the strattera as a lot of the problems with Champix seems to be due to the sudden nicotine withdrawal (makes sense), and they both have different ways of working on the system. Do read up on Strattera as it does take much longer to take effect, so don't expect any sudden changes that you would get with stimulants. I completely understand the gardening thing.
Avatar n tn i feel tired all the time how much longer should it take for the effects to kick in?
Avatar f tn I would think your local pharmasist could give you a much faster answer then I could. The sim meds will work much better than stratera. Then your choice is between the long acting ones like Vyvanse or short acting (take as needed) like ritalin. If you need any more info on the meds, let me know.
Avatar m tn He has been on intuniv for a couple of months. It was not working.. So the DR. gave the strattera also... He takes both at the same time in the morning.Hs the DR. suggested... Did not know if anyone else had been on both and how well it worked...
Avatar n tn If this combo does not work for you, you might want to discuss with your doctor using a light stimulant medicine. http://www.leeheymd.com/charts/adhd_1.
Avatar n tn t feeling the Strattera and could i please get enough adderal until the Strattera kicked in. He originally had boo hooed any narcotic adhd meds. But he gave me enough for a week. When I took the amphetamine I immediately felt relief and I am at an age where I am pretty sure what my body needs and I don't want to play around with newer drugs with side effects I am afraid of.
311086 tn?1224728918 I started Strattera after being diagnosted with Adult ADHD (Severe) on the DSM-IV by my Psychologist. My MD (family doctor) has since confirmed it. He put me on 40mg / day (taken at around 11am every day, without food). For the entire first week, I was fine. I didn't really see any improvement, i'm still hyper, find it hard to concentrate, etc. He then told me that on Wednsday (10/1/2008) that I am to upgrade to 60mg per day. I took my dose on 10/1 and then on 10/2.
Avatar f tn I know what you mean about the energy, they do give you energy. I can tell you though, that honestly does not last--When i quit takin them after close to 3 years I was so far behind in everything--house cleaning, car a mess, yard work, school work, bills---everything. Something happens after a short time that causes that "energy" not to be as productive.
Avatar m tn My son is 11 yr old, has ADHD/ODDand IED and they also say border line asperger syndrom. He started off with strattera, then switch to stimulants ritalin, and vynasse. Stimulants was horrible for him became very violent. He was on strattera and rispedorol and all he did was wake up eat and sleep. The medication was effecting his motor skills, his reaction time was very slow, like his reaction in the game was horrible, and he had alot of twitching and tics...
Avatar m tn Your doctor is the only person that should have a say about you take. If you go asking about certain tablets he will know you used the net and he might refuse the request. Just tell him how you are feeling and let him decide on what medication to put you on. People on here try to be helpful. But you could be told to try something that might go against you. Then who do you blame? Hence users should never say get this tablet or get that tablet. As much as they mean well. They are not your doctor.
1842804 tn?1319756311 Hi Kasia, May I suggest rehab for you? There is specialized cognitive training that can and usually does help with concentration. There was just a big presentation on trials that proved it works that was given at the ECTRIMS conference in Amsterdam. At least I think that's where I just read about it. LOL The therapist can work with intervention techniques and skills to help you develop new or different ways to increase your attention and concentraiton.
Avatar f tn ADHD can cause a lot of emotional stress. You really need to talk with your doctor. You also need to do some research as allmymarbles suggested. How old is your child and how long has he been on Strattera? I have never seen any literature that would even suggest that acupuncture would control ADD symptoms. However, it could be good for stress and increasing blood flow. I would first concentrate on solving the Raynard's problem.
