"well, started taking strattera around 6 weeks back, had adhd since i was a child. (23 now) been on ritilin and a couple of other ones when i was young, can&#039;t remember the name of the other two. took myself off the meds when i was old enough to leave school, looking at how people are describing their children&#039;s symptoms are bringing it all back. how every day at school trying to eat was the biggest challenge, yes i could sit still, yes i was &quot;well behaved&quot; but all the time every day i just felt ill. all some parents and mostly schools care about is if every child in the room is quiet and being educated. i&#039;d never felt so free when i took myself off the meds. strattera is kind of working for me now but is causing a lot of changes to my body"
