I’m only on day 2, but I feel so able to concentrate, it’s ridiculous. I know it’s expected to take weeks to start working, but I’m feeling it already. I spent the morning reading wikipedia, catching up with work, and doing laundry that I hadn’t done for weeks. Now, I’m gonna go out to eat at a restaurant with a friend and his kids. Is this what NTs feel like all the time, just able to focus without struggle and the motivation of looming despair??
However, I slept maybe 30 mins last night even though I took 12 mgs of melatonin throughout the night, and my male genitals are not working well. I also feel a bit irritable.

Did anyone on Strattera have a similar experience? And did the side effects eventually go away?
-
If so, how long did they take to subside? If not, what did you do about it?
-
Did this ability to focus last too?

I had urinary retention and premature ejaculation and sleep disturbances that never resolved.
oh no! that sucks. are you still dealing with that? 😟
No, I am not on strattera anymore.
Wait a tic, the problem people have is premature ejaculation? Not difficulty with arousal and anorgasmia a la SSRIs?
Shit, I gotta talk to my doctor about this.
