I've been taking Strattera for my ADHD for about 2 1/2 months now. I wanted to start off not taking stimulants but now I feel like I'm regretting it because I absolutely have no idea if it's working. I took it over the summer so I couldn't really test out if it's working or not, but now i'm in school and i'm scared it's not working. i've been told it takes a while to kick in but i've been on 100mgs for a while now.
i'm thinking of changing my meds but i wanna hive strattera until the end of this month to see if i experience any difference.
has anyone else taking strattera have this problem?

If it's not working just switch. There's so many ADHD meds out there. Plenty of different things to try.
I take Vyvanse, and when I started taking it it didn't really feel like it was doing much for me, but there was still a palpable difference in my behavior.
Honestly I have no idea how Strattera works, but given what you said I'm assuming it's not a stimulant like Vyvanse is, and it might be extremely different, but what I'm getting at is that you may be expecting it to feel differently than it does. You might already be focusing better than you were before without noticing it. I found that the effects of the medication were there and strong, but my expectations were so far off from the reality that for the first couple of days I didn't it was working.
Just give it a bit of a chance. Ultimately, talk with your doctor about it, but just keep in mind that they might be more effective than you think they are.
I was briefly on shittera when I was a kid, and it was not fun. I threw up all the time and lost my appetite, and I didn't think it was working. But, according to my parents, it worked like a fucking charm, so probably just keep at it a while and believe in big pharma, anon.

If you take those long enough, you'll wake up feeling terrible and generally just be a zombie all day. I hated those things. My mom omly made me take them so she could make me out to be retarded so she could get a monthly check. Seriously don't take them, throw them down the toilet.

Adhd pills are useless.
