Strattea Adult on 18mg - Enough? - ADD / ADHD Message Board

Been going to my Psych and been diagnosed with ADD

Was put on 18mg strattera, i am a Male 6'1" 200lbs

felt great for a month but recently i feel very sluggish,Tired, unmotivated and sweat more.

I told my Psych and he said if i still feel this way next month he will lower my dosage to 10mg.

I am wondering if the reason i am so sluggish is because of my very low dosage to start off with.

I read somewhere that the correct dosage for an adult of my weight is around 60mg.

Does my Psych not know what hes doing???

Im

getting tired of this medicine.

Bored,

Get a new shrink before your guy bores you to death with his ignorance.

I'm not kidding. Fire him promptly and get a ADHD experienced shrink.

My child/young adult is on an 80mg dose. She is 120 pounds and about 5' 7" so I would think your dose is a bit low!
