"i was first diagnosed with add when i was 6 years old, i&#039;m almost 28 now,and have been on ritilan and adderall for most of my life. i went off medication a few times in my life and although i was functional, i found myself spacing out a lot, and unable to focus. recently i had been under so much stress that i was experiencing more frequent zoning out especially at work. so i talked to my doctor about it, and he originally prescribed strattera but my insurance company wouldn&#039;t cover it so he put me on 20 mg dose once a day. this is only my second day on it, but overall i&#039;ve had little negative side effects. just a minor loss of appetite and some dry mouth. i am definitely feeling a lot more focused and can still sleep. so far so good."
