I had an appointment last Friday for a “check-up” on the drugs, and me.

The doc was gone, I never got the message, so I insisted I see someone and ended up with a PA.

She took me OFF the Strattera due to the side-effects – and said “it should have been helping by now”.

They now want another opinion on my ADHD and the meds – so I’m scheduled for a psych. in late August.

Been off the Strattera for 2 days now and am wide awake. But I’m back at square one.

The doc and the PA agree and will not prescribe anything else at all due to my age.

So I guess the over 50 crowd is SOL if Strattera doesn’t help or has nasty side effects.
