Are you suggesting that I add the savella or switch to it?
The strattera gave me great focus and patience
I was getting a lot done but I was a bit fearful
and was f*rt*ng a lot (oh the trades we make)I took the strattera last night
got up at six
laid down at 11

i'm in the middle of packing to move
i'm on a desperate quest for work
there is no staring time built in to my schedule
