I was taking 40 mg of Strattera a month ago and last week the Dr increased it to 60 mg. I have found that since I have been taking this med I have been able to stop taking my Xanax. I am not able to sleep for long periods like we use to do when were younger. I have taken an over the counter sleep aid that makes me rest better. Strattera has relaxed me so much that I am able to sleep better than I use to. There are RX's that can be prescribe, but I use to be on those and got myself off them. Try over the counter med first.
If you have trouble sleeping, as I did when I started Strattera, I recommend taking your dose first thing in the morning, when you wake up. That way, the medicine's effects fade off by the time you want to go to sleep.
