"i started taking strattera a few weeks ago for add. i have noticed it makes me really calm compared to my usual ways. it helps me focus a little better than i used to but i am still not really focused during class. i take 80mg a day, yes i know that&#039;s a lot but that&#039;s what was prescribed for me. i have completely lost my appetite. some days go by and i realize i haven&#039;t eaten anything. i have lost 10 lbs. other than that it just gives me a really dry mouth. i always take over the counter sleep aids so i always sleep fine. i wonder if i should try adderall? concerta i have already tried and did not like it."
