Im thinking about getting strattera for my adhd, because im about to be without medical insurance. How much would it cost me for a 30 day supply of 25 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, and 80 mg? Im not going to try to get it all at once lol, but i wanna know which one i should go for.. thank you!

If you want to switch from Strattera to adderall. Can a pharmacist give you it?

I just started strattera. I read online that it cant be abused or get a high off it. But I feel like I took a hit of pot that last all day. And Im not sleepy. But I have been just doing things I should instead of sleeping and being depressed. But my heart feels like its racing. I guess my question is if this is normal? Any thoughts/opinions/or experiences?

I have ADHD and I have switched around on medications a lot. I want to just stick with one medication but it's hard because I also have problems with anxiety. I first started taking concerta and it worked really well (my grades improved and my teachers noticed the difference). However, I felt that I needed to increase the dose... and each time upped the dose, the more I anxious I became. I know that it can have a side-effect of making you feel anxious/depressed. I eventually had to stop the co

I suffer from bipolar and ADHD. I've been on lamictal and Wellbutrin and they were great but the Wellbutrin kinda fizzled out. Ive been on strattera for 2 weeks fine but I've now fallin in a hole. I'm crabby depressed anxious and having restless leg syndrome. I'm doing horrible in school and been feeling extremely suicidal. Plus I can't afford to see my pdoc. Someone please help.

Two days ago I was told to increase my dose of Strattera (for ADHD) from 40mg to 60mg and I have been an emotional WRECK lately. I'm in a long distance relationship and honestly the thought of that person and how much I want to be with them makes me sob. Totally out of nowhere, I go from being fine to curled up in my bed crying. I'm not usually this fragile... Can this medication be causing this?!

1 out of 10 kids in america take the mind altering drug ritalin. Ritalin is a derivative of cocaine. Some numbers for you: in 1993 UK doctors wrote 3,500 prescriptions for ritalin; by 1996 it was 26,500; in 2006(not including private medicine) it was 250,000 and in 2007 it was 461,000(gee I wonder if dr's. are influenced by pharmacutical companies) this is according to the UK national health services. There are a number of copy cat drugs as well being forced on our children, these include: add

My girlfriend recently got out of the Navy, while she was in she was prescribed Strattera, an ADHD medication and is no longer covered by the Navy's medical coverage. She is looking for an insurance company that will cover this medication at a reasonable price.

I have high-functioning Asperger's Syndrome (Autism). I am currently taking Focalin XR and Strattera. Yesterday, I forgot to take my medications, and in addition to the regular symptoms of being less focused and more Autistic in general, I noticed that whenever I turned around or moved too quickly, I felt sort of light-headed, dizzy, and disoriented. However, while on my medication, I do not experience this. Do anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this? *Does anyone

I was prescribed 50mg a day of Sertraline (an antidepressant) by my physician as a starter medication for major depression episodes (I'm going to start going to a therapist eventually who will probably change my medication if he/she decides to keep me on it at all). I started taking them a few weeks ago, and my doctor said that the full effects should build up in my system and start really helping by now, but the side effects are difficult to work with. About a week and a half in, I started

strattera, tegretol, antipsychotics, ssris ativan. ativan and antipsychotics no longer prescribed and it seems like there has been alot of improvement in cognitive abilities. However memory seems to be worse than ever. I've read that strattera can cause short term memory problems but that was on wikipedia so I don't know if it is reliable. And the memory problems I'm referring to are long term memory. Like something important happening one day and being forgotten the next. Meds are being

I know it's used for psych patients often who have co-morbidity w/some other condition. I believe this is because most frequently used ADHD medications are strong stimulants and can cause or exacerbate anxiety. Anyway I was wondering how strattera compares to other ADHD meds.. it contains Atomoxetine and is an NRI.

Hello. I'm a junior in high school, and having a lot of difficulty with this year. My problem is that I can't concentrate on classes or study work, and I'm never motivated to study or do work (regardless of distractions). I also procrastinate a lot and I'm very indecisive. Sometimes I feel down, but I never really think about harming myself. In previous years I was able to do fine without putting any real effort out, running about a 3.8 GPA with 3 AP classes, but this year is a different story

that you were living in fear. Could taking strattera and welbutrin (I heard they aren't supposed to be taken together) make you more anxious and more fearful that you could die, i.e. from a heart attack, especially if a stressful situation arose.

I thought strattera would be the safest since it's a non-stimulant, but the side effects listed are basically the same, and people experience heart palpitations on it.. So yeah, I can't take an ADHD drug because of heart problems? Or is there one that is safe for me?

I am now 19 years old, and I was diagnosed with bi-polar when I was 6 and ADHD when I was 4. I do actually have ADHD, however I do not believe I am bipolar. From the moment I was diagnosed with ADHD, I have been prescribed multiple medicines. When I was diagnosed with Bi-polar, the list got even longer. I stopped taking my medicines in October 2010 (I was taking 400mg Lamictal twice a day, 60mg Seroquil once a day, and 15mg Abilify once a day), and I feel better than ever before. Recently, how

I have ADD that has severely affected my ability to concentrate in the workplace. When I was just a kid, I was put on a variety of medications including Strattera, only to react very adversely.

Ive been struggling with ADD since i was a child (currently in college). Im also dyslexic and reading for long periods of time (over twenty minutes) is extremely difficult. The only thing that really seems to help is adderall. I am currently prescribed Strattera which doesn't seem to work nearly as well..... How do you get a script for adderall? it seems impossible.

In the past 3 days I have slept for 3 hours. I have a constant head ache and am starting to hear things that aren't there. I can't sleep. I take 2 medicines, Strattera for ADD, and Zoloft for anxiety. I take the Strattera after dinner and Zoloft in the mornings. I started taking Strattera after Vyvanse because it wasn't supposed to keep me awake like the Vyvanse, but it doesn't help. My mom has been giving me Lunesta but that doesn't help. Please help. I've been awake for 69 of the past

thank you very much for your time! I would really appreciate if you put the answers like this in simple context. 1) 2)

I have been dealing with ADHD without any medication since i was in elementary school. Latley, I started taking natural supplements to help with my issue ( Im in college) but they didn't seem to help. My doctor put me on 25 mg of Strattera because he said they are no longer allowed to prescribe adderall; only psychiatrists are... is this true???

I've done some reading about being able to drink alcohol while taking the pill strattera and it says to only have a few drinks. I'd like to get drunk tomorrow night, this being said if I drink slow will I be okay? Should I not take my pill at all tomorrow?, Or the fact that I take my pill at 6:30 a.m. and wont drink until 9 or later tomorrow night I should be fine? Positive feed back will help.

I was recently diagnosed with ADD doctor perscribed me Strattera. I'm not pregnant seeing as the end of November early December I had my last period and I haven't had sex. I started the medicine like 2 weeks before I should have had my period. I should admit that I have been a little stressed lately. So I was wondering if these could be a cause and should I consult with the doctor who prescribed me or go to my regular doctor?

Am I pregnant? I'm three weeks late I spotted the day I was supposed to start my period. I get nausea very bad at night and my back is killing me. I've taken 2 hpt and they were both negative. I was on birth control and stopped taking it for about a month. During that month is when I think I concieved. I'm on effexor and strattera so I'm not sure if that's causing anything.

I was there for 96 days. I got home about a week ago. Things are odd. No one is telling me what to do, I'm not eating with plastic forks, and there is not a group to go to every hour. I'm 16 and I've had quite the whirlwind of a year. But today I feel strange. The adrenaline of being home is gone and now I feel so lost. I'm not in school and I have nothing to do during the day. I have NA and therapy appointments throughout the week... but nothing that takes up much time. I have PTSD, NVLD,

Another side effect thats more questionable, but i think is quite apparent is nervousness (always playing with my hair and feeling on edge), irratability (ive been getting unreasonably mad at things, even video games), and an overall feelin

My doctor recently switched me from 80 mg of strattera to 18 mg of concerta, the concerta doesn't seem to be helping at all, It just makes me extremely hyper/"awake". My doctor switched me because the strattera (even though it helped alot) made me fall asleep randomly throughout the day and made me feel stoned. I like concerta because it gives me a lot of energy and I can get a lot of things done but as far as ADHD goes, I don't think the dosage is high enough to actually effect me. The stra

I was on Strattera (atomoxetine) a year ago for mild ADD. It worked great, with few side effects. I was put on Cymbalta today for a chronic pain condition, and noticed the drug name was duloxetine. I was wondering if they were at all similar. I read that one was an NRI, and one a SNRI, so I'm not sure how close they are. They reason I am asking is because I have tried 6+ antidepressants for pain, and had to quit them because of nasty side effects. So I am hoping it is chemically similar to
