Doc started me at 40 mg based on my weight and some formula they use for dosing...I have to call his office this Friday to give my "first week of usage report" LOL Hmmm maybe I'll call today and ask if ok to take the Lunesta...

Hi Toots,My pdoc has no problem w/ me taking lunesta or sonata w/ strattera.
I take strattera at night--because it makes me sleepy! And we dialed my dose way down to 20mg.
Does it really help with your ADD?
best,
