I was on Vyvanse 50mg and wanted to get off of stimulants so my DR decided to try Strattera, I have to say for me it works better than stimulants. Plus I became addicted to Vyvanse and had to be put in the hospital for detox.

I only gave effectiveness 2 stars b/c although it worked in calming our son down, it calmed him down so much that he was like a little zombie walking around. He showed absolutely no emotion or interest in anything. He did nothing but lay on the couch for hours, unmoving and silent. He eventually started to complain of serious stomach pain.

He showed absolutely no emotion or interest in anything. He did nothing but lay on the couch for hours, unmoving and silent. He eventually started to complain of serious stomach pain. It was his first day on this new medication as we were trying a different alternative to Concerta. We immediately stopped this medication and he is now back to his usual happy and fun loving self. His ADHD is a struggle but we would gladly work with his ADHD rather than the empty little boy we had for that day. I would not recommend this at all.

Its only my first day but this med is comparable to adderall and vyvanse and gives me the same effect. We'll see how eve ... Show Full Comment

Just had my first dose and evrything seems a bit clearer for me, like a switch was turned on in my head. Although it did make me a slight bit hyper, I can focus more. The come down of this pill is horrible though. I had a headache for about 20mins and had to take ibuprophen. Its only my first day but this med is comparable to adderall and vyvanse and gives me the same effect. We'll see how everything goes for now. I am on 25 mg for 3 days then increase to 25 mg 2 times a day for a total of 50 mg daily. Crossing my fingers.
