I finally got my healthcare card in the mail and I have been debating whether to go to a doctor. I've been having knee pain, I have crappy sinus/allergies, and for a while now I've suspected I have adhd. I took an assessment test on WebMD and my score was a 49. 25 and over was severe symptoms of ADHD. So I finally decided to do it. But I have no

BLAH!!!

I have ADHD! I originally was taking Celexa... it helps some, but I still couldn't focus for $hit!!

I made an appointment with my DR, and Explained to him that I believe Straterra would help me. (I always had a problem with paying attention and hypertensiveness)

I started taking it last Friday, I am starting to notice that I can actually sit and read without being so easily distracted... but it takes 2-3 weeks for the medicine to kick in...

If I can make a sugestion, TAKE THE QUIZ AGAIN and print it out, then go to Straterra's website and take the quiz on that site, and print it out. Take BOTH of these with you to your DR :>

as far as testing goes, the symptoms speak for themselves.

Oh, My Dr gave me a starter kit of the straterra too, there are like 3 different doses, 18mg for 4 days, 25mg for 2 weeks, then up to 40,

the target dose is 80mg (that is 2 of the blue pills)

Good luck!

Oh okay. So if I show him those, that'll pretty much be it? Does the medicine make you drowsy?
