Strattera changed my life (31M)

I always knew i was differend. For 10 years, i was wrongly medicated (from AD to antipsyhotics, benzos), tried at least 15 differend pills. Nothing worked.

I never thought i might have adhd. In my eyes, someone with adhd is obssesed with sports, always on the move.

When i started to read literature, i started to realize, all of my life and personality is just adhd symptoms and masking.

In my country, if you werent diagnosed as child, its hard to get support. I was finally offered Stratrera. Due to shortage, i waited 6 months to get it. In the meantime, i read a lot about it and i “knew” it wont help… but i wanted to give it a try.

Im on Wellbutrin and Pregabalin. After i took my 1st dose of Strattera, my life changed in an hour. My mind was suddenly quiet, i thougt this is side effect, that its “hard for me to think”. Then i talked to my boyfriend and i realized, thats how “normal” people think.

My side effects were (are) minimal. Some bladder problems and thats it. No nausea, and i take it on empty stomach.

My emotions were suddenly easier to control, my impulsivity reduced, my sleep improved. My blood pressure REDUCED and my relationship with food changed. Ive been doing intense breathework and Strattera helped me released stuck emotions and i resolved our family trauma. I got answers to all of my questions, i wondered for 31 years. I can finally feel other medications. My nervous system was in chronic dysregulation for all of my life.

Im currently on 3th week on 40mg. Ive never been more happier and calm in my life. I can finally start to live my life. And i know effects will even get better.

Sorry english is not my primary language. I wish all of you find peace soon.
