Strattera thoughts?

I have struggled for years, having to do everything differently than others, working harder to accomplish the same things. ADHD wasn’t even a topic where and when I grew up. Spent most of my nice self medicating with caffeine and alcohol.

In 2017 I got a provider to listen to me and conduct an assessment for ADHD. We tried a few different meds, mostly off label stuff and Adderall. Nothing seemed to help, but I was in a very high stress job and still drinking heavily at the time, so who really knows. Eventually gave up on the meds.

Turn the pages a few years. I am almost three years sober and in a different career, I decided to revisit treatment. My new provider took my symptoms seriously and decided to start me back on some medication. She started me on Strattera (Atomoxetine HCL 40MG). I have been on it for about six weeks. I have days where I feel like it helps a little with concentration, but it hasn’t been consistent enough to tell for sure.

Wondering what other people’s experiences have been with Strattera. What were your results, what dosage were you on? Were you only on Strattera or combining it with other meds?

Appreciate your information.
