"i&#039;m a 32 year old male and have had symptoms of adhd all my life, but chose not to treat it because the types of medications available seemed to &#039;take something away&#039; from my personality.  i finally reached a point that my wife begged me to do something, so i started with strattera due to my doctor&#039;s recommendation.  i&#039;ve been on 40mg for 2 months now, and notice a major difference.  i now have a desire to get on the floor and play with the kids, whereas before it seemed tedious and boring.  i find that i&#039;m not as tired at the end of the day/week because my thoughts are not distracted, by all the &#039;noise&#039; that i seem to have from the adhd.  i&#039;m still new to the drug, and things could change, but for now, i am really happy."
