Just started Strattera. I feel superhuman, but have some questions about the side effects.

I’m only on day 2, but I feel so able to concentrate, it’s ridiculous. I know it’s expected to take weeks to start working, but I’m feeling it already. I spent the morning reading wikipedia, catching up with work, and doing laundry that I hadn’t done for weeks. Now, I’m gonna go out to eat at a restaurant with a...

phoukas,

I’m on adderall so my experiences may be different. The super human rush lasted about two weeks for me until my body settled into it. I’m on 10mg a day, but my doctor prefers a two day a week “drug holiday” so I don’t develop a tolerance.

I slept better the first few weeks because I was exhausted as it wore off from actually doing things. I started to sleep poorly again after that, but I’m now taking 50mg of trazedone a night and sleep like a champ. If you frequently take melatonin your body doesn’t respond to it as well. I was taking 10mg a night before my doctor recommended trazedone.

My only side effect is very slight tremors in my hands, but they lessen over the day. The focus is still there, but I definitely have to put forth more conscious effort a few months in. I’m on anti depressants as well so my genitals gave up years ago. I had serious temper problems which are VERY reduced.

My advice: take it easy! You can burn out a little trying to do all the things right now. Get a task app, put reasonable chores or goals on a schedule. Try and use your brains new reward system to build healthy habits. You can actually have habits now! Crossing things off a list will actually feel amazing. When the meds effects start to chill out, you’ll be able to lean into your little routine and keep getting things accomplished.

Very happy for you- that holy shit I’m functional now feeling is so awesome. DM me if you need anything! 💓

phoukas,

Looks amazing. Cook on the pork looks perfect!

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

phoukas,

I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.

phoukas,

I had a similar experience and just started blocking all the meme instances. Much better so far!

phoukas,

Let me know if you ever find a good nosleep alternative!

phoukas,

I replaced the insulation with some new stuff first, but that is exactly what I ended up doing! It didn’t vent anywhere. The back of the hole backed up to what felt like tar paper. I assume the back of the siding.

phoukas,

The finished product. Thank you for all the advice!https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/41e5ee3d-b8b9-4cec-a85a-5e37afdceda4.jpeg
