Anyone take it? Anecdotes to share? I was prescribed this today for newly diagnosed ADHD because I was wary of jumping into treatment with stimulants.. Just wondering if it is working well for those who take it. The dr started me on a half dose and is going to slowly increase it over the next few weeks.. Thanks for anyone who shares!

 I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

I have been on it for a 1 1/2 and it has changed my life 100% for the better.  I wish I had done it years ago.
 
However, the ramp up was tough.  I was drowsy and a little fuzzy headed for about 4 weeks and then I was fine.

It is very hard while you are working it into your system. I had a number of side effects but the worst was that I was tired 24/7. Once I got to my therapeutic doseage I LOVED it. Nothing has ever worked for my ADD but this was like I had opened my eyes for the first time.

Unfortunately, I had to come off of Strattera because my liver enzymes became elevated and I guess liver damage is one of the possible complications. I miss it though.
