Will Strattera keep you awake

Answer 1

Because of differences in tolerability, Strattera might be able to be taken at night. Some people, however, may need a morning dosing schedule, because they find it activating. 25 mg is a relatively low dosage, where adults generally start at 40 and make their way up to 80 or 100 mg total. And no, in case your wondering, strattera has 24 hour coverage, so you don't have to be concerned about the effects wearing off during the day time. This is different from all other medications available, especially in the USA where it is the only medicine of its kind currently. Above all else, talk with your doctor or whoever was licensed to prescribe this medication to you or someone else, since I don't know whether this question was for you or another person's benefit.

Answer 2

I've been taking it for a few years, and it only keeps me awake when I'm adjusting to a higher dose, which takes several days. After that period of adjustment, it doesn't cause me any sleep problems. But everyone responds to ADHD medication a little differently.

Answer 3

One of the potential side effects of Strattera is insomnia (being unable to fall asleep), however, not all patients experience this side effect.

Strattera is not a controlled drug which means there is little to no chance for people to abuse the medication. This is because the side effects (like insomnia) experience by other ADHD medications are not as common with Strattera.
