"i started taking this medication about 2 months ago. my doc had me start out at 40 milligrams for one week and then upped the dose to two 40 mg capsules twice a day. at the second month, i started taking just one 80 mg capsule around mid-afternoon early evening every day. so far the drug has seemed to greatly help my ability to focus and really experience the world around me. i&#039;m able to finally slow my mind to a cruising speed instead of an outright race. strattera has made me calmer and more composed when it comes to social interactions with others and encountering stressful situations. also, i seem to be getting really positive and more optimistic in everyday life making me feel as if the drug as some mild antidepressant properties"
