Re: Strattera?

No apologies! When I was on Straterra, I actually did find some good focus and improvement. But — for me it was the wellbutrin/straterra combo that set off something wierd in my head, hence the hemispherical siezure (that’s one thing they called it). There are a bunch of different meds, but it seems that they are grouped into 3 catagorys. Please do your own research cause I ain’t no doctor. But — aren’t they amphetamines (basic), Methylphenidate (concerta) and straterra? As for what I can read about the conccerta is simply a precursor to amphetamines and a formulation that makes it “unabusable”, having to pass through your GI tract before becoming amphetamines in your blood stream, hence if you inject or snort it nothing happens. Unlike adderal and ritalin which can be abused. Straterra well, it’s unique? So – what good did that do other than blog on your question? Probably nuttin. BUT — and the big point is your last comment. TIRED OF LIVING LIKE THIS!? Yes – – you realize you hit the sweet spot with that question! I’m on my 2nd day of Adderal, and it’s a little heady. I slept like crap last night waking up every hour like clock work and night sweats.. (sorry, yuk). However I feel like I am in control and had a few good lucid moments, concentration better, didn’t feel the need to step on conversations. I am also in consultation with a behavior conselor to get a handle on it. Try everything but hang in there!
