I really tried not to let myself be influenced about all the bad stuff I heard about strattera but holy shit this has fucked with my body so much. I could live with the constant headaches, I was even prepared to weather the nausea for a bit. But I couldn't actually go anywhere before 1pm because the motion of the tram, the bus, the metro, hell, even WALKING would make me so motion sick I could barely keep it together. I'm pretty sure one is NOT supposed to FEEL one's brain slushing around in one's head So on the 22nd we were on our way to IKEA and to get our christmas grocery shopping done and I actually got so sick I threw up into a trash can at an underground station. Which is about as low as you can go, for me. I know no one there gave a fuck but to me it was very humiliating and enough to stop taking the strattera immediately. I figure I've futzed with the dosage for weeks now, and still it feels like poison. The positive aspects do not balance out the side effects at all. All it did was make me slightly more concentrated but I was back to bumping into things, dropping things, interrupting people, being unmotivated and, oh yeah, throwing up in public places! I haven't taken any since the 22nd (in fact, I think my OH wouldn't have let me even if I tried) and my headaches are now gone. Such a relief! My stomach's been acting up a bit but it's getting better. Today I went back on the Ritalin I still have around. And for now I'm just enjoying the wonderful quiet in my brain. and that it's not making sloshing feelings in my head

hey steph, thanks, I'm back on the Ritalin for the second day and I have a pdoc appt in january the cipralex was never a problem for me (I heard some people have major issues with it), but then the dosage I take is minimal. But upping the dosage during PMS seemed to really have an impact. I was less... uh... out of it
