I think most of these reviews are negative because they started on to high of a dose; this medication needs to slowly build up in your system.. I started on 40 mg and i couldn't tolerate it. So i went down to 18 mg for 3 weeks and then 25 mg for the last 2 months. Now i am going to go back up to 40mg. I easily abused Adderall and i didn't like the crash on Vyvanse, so my Pdoc prescribed Strattera. I have suffered with anxiety my whole life, once i started taking Strattera i noticed it decreasing significantly. This has been a miracle drug for me. I also tak 2mg of Abilify and 1mg (as needed) klonopin. i have been testing out several meds for the last 6 months, and some of them do make you feel crazy at first, this is why i recommend starting off small and then slowly increasing your dose. I didn't want to take meds, but sometimes you need them for the better.
This is the worst thing that happened to me life. I went to the ER like everyone else I see in here for a migraine. They gave me toradol and compazine for my headache. Immediately after receiving this medication in the IV I started trembling uncontrollably. I told the nurse and they gave me Benadryl which lead to the worst experience of my life where I was so exhausted from the Benadryl that I couldn't move, but I was still trembling inside and couldn't tell anyone. So I was essentially stuck inside my body shaking but also unable to move. This continued for hours even after I got home. I took a bunch of Xanax and managed to sleep for a bit.Fast forward 5 months and my life is falling apart. I have developed serious panic attacks, anxiety, and trembling that does not go away. This drug has ruined my life.
I ended up with a severe depression and got suicidal two weeks after starting treatment because my gynecologist forgot to mention that depression is a known side effect especially in patients with a history of depression. In my case it meant that the nightmares I endured during my PTSD came back. After about four weeks the pain in my entire body got so severe that I had difficulties urinating. At that time I also felt exhausted and gained so much weight that my clothes did not fit anymore. Because I was mentally unstable it took me six months before I was able to drag myself to my GP ( I didn't want to go to my gynecologist anymore because of the mistake she made) who immediately checked my blood and it was then that I was diagnosed with hypothyroid. At that time my GP thought that the pain in my body was a side effect of untreated hypothyroid. Therefore it was necessary to first start medication before further tests could be done. After four months on thyroid medication my GP referred
