I don’t feel a difference???

Hello! I’m 22 and got diagnosed a few months ago. I started taking Strattera but I honestly do not feel a difference. This is the first time I’m taking meds for adhd so I don’t really know how I’m supposed to feel. Can anyone explain it to me? Do any of you take the same meds and are able to tell the difference?

Strattera isn’t exactly for adhd exclusively/specifically, so maybe a stimulant will make you feel a difference? It’s a lot of trial & error unfortunately

Did your doctor set up a medication plan for you? I just started taking my meds last week and I am supposed to raise my medication over four weeks, until it becomes helpful or stop when it is too much.

I take 80 milligrams of Strattera and 150 milligrams of Wellbutrin. It seems to help me quite a bit. Pharmacy plus therapy seems to help me the most.
