"hey, i&#039;m a 20 y/o medical assistant (internal medicine), after being on strattera for about 2 months, and even though i complain about my pts not battling through side affects to achieve benefit, i as well, failed to reach the finish line. 



i re-starting strattera 4 months later, i think i finally figured out why this medicine is so difficult for me. i have come to realize that this medication is relatively a &quot;shock collar&quot; more or less. strattera doesn&#039;t actually &quot;help&quot; my symptoms but yet, &quot;shocks me&quot; (punishes me) when my symptoms show through. every time i get distracted, or overly excited, start mono-logging thoughts in my head, etc. the side affects flare up. i dont know if this is true for everyone, but it is what i have noticed."
