I am begining to notice the same thing. Strattera had a very intense affect on me the first couple of days. I felt extreemly focused but felt as if I was in an altered state. After a week or so that "altered" feeling began to subside and I just felt "really focued" the benefits seemed to be wearing off going into the 2nd month however. So I asked my doctor to increase my dossage from 80 mg every day to 100 mg. This made a difference for a about a month.

Now I have been taking 100 mg (2 25 mg tablets twice a day) for about 3 months and I am not noticing hardly any benefits anymore. I really would like to know if you body builds up a tolerance to the medication. Right now I feel like I may be wasting my money on the medication. I am affraid to stop taking it because I fear the withdrawl affects.

I cant increase my dosage because 100 mg is the maximum.

Can anyone give me some insight?

Hi, Per my daughters psychiatrist....new studies have found that while increasing the dose may show an improvement for the first couple weeks if the dose gets to high then you can see an increase in ADHD symptoms....we lowered her dose and she did much better on a lower dose than the higher one...hope this helps

What is the best way to wean off of Strattera?

If you have the capsule form you can cut it in half and take that, slowly come off of it because coming off of it all at once can cause health effects/withdrawals.I have not come off of Strattera and have no intention to, as it is working wonderfully for me, but I would like to say that since Strattera is not a stimulant, the side effects of stopping the medication should be minimal and there should be no withdrawal, as Strattera is not addictive.I have read reports of people stopping Strattera suddenly due to being unable to get the drug due to insurance or money, or to give themselves a creativity boost, or they simply didn't want to take a medication anymore and having no problems coming off of it.As for cutting the capsule in half, please don't do that. From the packaging:Avoid touching a broken STRATTERA capsule. Wash hands and surfaces that touched an open STRATTERA capsule. If any of the powder gets in you or your child's eyes, rinse them with water right away and call your doctor.
