With my first dose of Straterra I finally realized what "normal" felt like! Couldn't justify risks after I left the job I needed it for, but was a life changer!

I’m on my second dose and I hope I’m not feeling a “placebo “ but it is pretty awesome for helping me get my tasks done for the day

How you feeling now? Have you taken it continuously?

@shwingler8871 20 күн бұрын

I wish it worked like that for me. I tried it for a month before trying stimulants. For me it made me very depressed and I didn’t want to do anything. The way you describe it is the way stimulants made me feel

I started at 40mg and gradually increased to 100mg. I took it for a month and the only thing it did for me was increase my blood pressure and made me very tired. As far as it helping my inattentive ADHD it did nothing.

Yeah same here. I had to try it before moving on to stimulant medication.

I tried it also 5 days, wasn't able to even take a shower for 4 days, was so tired and out of any motivation. Was cruel. Plus anxiety rise is out of roof.

What is the treatment for ADHD patients with Major Depressive Disorder? Is there a specific way you treat patients with multiple mental health conditions? Like combining medication instead of monotherapy. Your videos are really helpful, thank you for your hard work ❤.

@LevelheadedMind 4 ай бұрын

For comorbidities with ADHD you want to treat the other diagnosis first. In your case, treat depression first, then once mood is stable re-evaluate for ADHD symptoms and severity and treat if necessary. Oftentimes ADHD symptoms are actually part of another diagnosis, especially in Adults.

@@LevelheadedMind thanks for your reply. I've been on effexor for 5-6 years since I was 16, and I was quite struggle with schooling since 12. Now 22 and dropped from pharmacy school. I'm quite sure that something in my brain doesn't work the way it should.🥲

This is exactly what I'm going through. I had a TBI that resulted in unspecified mood disorder second to a medical condition. The same with executive dysfunction. Now I'm starting atomoxetine as well as in speech and cognitive therapy. Hoping for the best. Thank you for the information. I was misdiagnosed for years as either bipolar, MDD, and ADHD, all the while doctors were aware of severe TBI. 😢

thanks so much for this , i really appreciate your scientific breakdown of how it works in the brain. i wasn’t able to find this info in other videos on youtube

Thank you for sharing this. I was wondering what your thoughts on adding buspar to effexor? My psychiatrist has been thinking about it.

@LevelheadedMind 4 ай бұрын

This could be helpful for comorbid anxiety or depression mixed with anxiety. But you have to monitor for serotonin syndrome.

Could you make a video about MDMA? I heard the FDA has accepted a new drug application for mdma for ptsd treatment. Not approved yet but going into testing later this year I think.

Been taking this for 3 days and it has been the worse 3 days ive had. I havent been able to sleep at night but during the day im so tired and sleepy. Im meeting my psych in 2 weeks but i dont think im going through this for longer than these 2 weeks.

Some people do better taking it at night.

@duyguguner5850 3 ай бұрын

Could you also discuss how we know we are at the right dose? On 40 mg I dont have the "beneficial stress" that was helping me to get things done but I also have a certain level of emotional disregulation. How can I understand whether I should increase or decrease the dose?

@CMarie2415 4 ай бұрын

Any connection between strattera and essential tremor? It dramatically increased my tremor and id love yo understand why.

Is it ideal? No. But the more adhd medications I try the more I realize that I don’t know that I want to be dealing with these side effects for the rest of my life and that may be my only other option. They are life changing beneficial medicines but they alter my personality. I don’t even want to read the same books when I’m on medication. I hate it.
