"i have been on strattera for over a year now.  i will be 50 in july. this medicine works well for me.  my thought patterns were like a slot machine with three or more thoughts going through my head at one time.  now my brain is quiet. it&#039;s amazing. i sleep well because i can turn off my thoughts. i have lost over 50 lbs. due to side effects at first, but now it&#039;s because i find that i focus on what i put in my mouth. it is nice to be able to wear skinny clothes again. i only need to lose about 30 more. try this medication. i can&#039;t imagine not ever taking it. it has been a blessing."
