"diagnosed with having adhd in my early 20&#039;s. dr. wanted me to try out strattera before a stimulant since i also have anxiety and he feared a med like adderrall would make it worst. 



this is my second month on it and it does seem to be working. i am better able to concentrate and my head seems more &quot;clear&quot;. i&#039;m on 80mg. 



stomach-aches and drowsiness started off horrible when i first began taking this med but these side effects are almost gone. still get dry mouth which ranges from mild to &quot;it feels like i&#039;ve eaten cotton and sand&quot;.



unless the side effects are too intense for you, i would at least give this med two months. think it gets such a bad rep because people don&#039;t give it a chance."
