I had insomnia that went away after a few days. I take 40 mgs a day without much in the way of side effects. I had taken 80 mgs. a day for a few days, but my brain and body was telling me 80 mgs was too much. Good luck.

> I'm a walking zombie when I can get my butt out of the chair. Oh, what I would do for a solid 6 - 8 hr. night! After 3 yrs. of nursing my sleep habits along, I finally started getting full nights of sleep this last fall. I'm really wrestling with whether I should continue with Strattera at the risk of undoing my recently acquired sleep habits. I'm not keen on taking a sleep med to counter the side effects of another med and I haven't the resources for another such expense. Sleep deprivation only amplifies my ADD sx. But, I really want to give Strattera a chance for me to at least see if there are any beneficial effects for me.

I've only been checking here for a day or so and may not quite get the pace of things. We all have lives to live, ehh? If anyone could speak to my quandry, I would most welcome your words.
