"my doctor gave me a free sample pack of strattera and had me start at 20mg, and increase the dose all the way to 80mg. i didn&#039;t notice a difference until i got to 60mg, and at 80mg, the side effects became all too apparent. i noticed that i was able to focus on a particular topic for longer periods of time, but that&#039;s it; my motivation, procrastination, sluggishness, irritability, memory problems, all remained the same. now for the side effects, my head starts to itch, my testicles become very tender, but worst of all i start to get depressed. i don&#039;t think this medication is for someone without the hyperactivity part of adhd. because i am sluggish enough as it is."
