Re: Any positive results from strattera?

Wow. I have been on Strattera and Wellbutrin for 7 months or so.

I spoke to Lily Canada’s professionals .. they make Strattera in Canada.

They have useful, public, free information .. good place to start since they tested it.

There is no definate amount of time for Strattera to have an effect ..because of the variations in

humans .. size, health, etc, the drug may act in 6 weeks or 6 days, more likely the former.

Side effects vary by user, and oddly by the age of the user.

Urine retention, dryness, etc .. drink lots of water .. this may help, it did for me.

If you can not contact the company that makes the drugs in your country, and if the fact sheets do not

have specific information, try finding a helpful and informed pharmacist .. drugstores can be useful.

Strattera, according to Lily, my druggist, my cardiologist etc, may impact on people with physical heart

conditions … that is not blood pressure, is it stuff like aneurisms, valves, .. physical stuff and yes there

is the chance that bp may increase or decrease .

Going to the nice doctor each week or month is nice, but blood pressure varies during the day .. if like me,

you are over 50, get daily blood pressure readings and keep a record … drugstores and grocery stores in

our west coast have machines for free to test bp … worse case ..buy a cuff .. or don’t.

Using this site to ask people for their opinoins on drugs or how they did on a drug is a bad idea … the one thing

that ADHD researchers are stating, and so are the drug makers, is that ADHD people respond in very unique

and different ways to ADHD drugs.

The reason for Strattera is that many people with ADHD can not take any of the Amphetamine type drugs .. again

read people like Dr. Barckley, the information and the reasons why are all clear. This is not a buffet but it can be

a crap shoot.

Good luck. Get lots of rest, exercise and good eating for dealing with ADHD.
