My psychiatrist actually requires me to do that each time she tries me on a new medication. She also has me note what time of day I am taking it as it helps to make sure I am establishing a routine that helps it work. I too have started Straterra, though only a week ago. I haven’t seen any effect yet, which is driving me a bit crazy. Once it starts kicking in I can start taking my Ritalin again, which will really help me at work. The issue for me is I have anxiety, like you have. I can’t take the Ritalin dose I need to improve my concentration without getting super jittery so my psychiatrist is hoping the Straterra will give the Ritalin a little help.
At least I haven’t seen any negative side effects yet. Though a bit of increased anxiety for the first day or so but I’m not sure that had anything to do with the Straterra as much as knowing the only drug I was taking wasn’t helping me any and I couldn’t take the Ritalin I had been counting on.
Good luck! If anything changes I’ll let you know. Let’s keep each other posted!
