    Amazing video, thank you so much! I've been recently diagnosed at 32 and started 18mg of long release Methylphenidate which seemed like a life changer, however I got chest pains really quickly - which i actually believe may be down to a combination of factors (including a lot of Anxiety) as my I've been for an ECG and results so far have been fine. Ive stopped and I'm going to push for Strattera, my personality seems similar to your explanation so I really hope my experience is like yours.

    Hey, great that you are sharing your experiences. I would like to recommend you to take a good omega 3 supplement with appropriate EPA/DHA ratio and watch your sleep. Are you getting enough deep sleep? Maybe you want to trank this with a smartwatch. And then start taking melatonin. Also vitamin B complex helps with the nervous system. So check your micro nutritions 🙂

And also the nature thing hahah, so true. I even have my own secret nature place 😂 And like today when I'm at the train station I often like to sit on the ground faar away from the people, lean against a lantern and just look at the view while sipping my energy drink 🤣 definitely thanks for your video, I'm excited.

  • @vinilzord1

    There's something fishy about either the guidelines followed by doctors or the production of atomoxetine in different countries. Here in Brazil the minimum dosage is 40mg, and the maximum is 100mg as far as I know. It's been 4 weeks and 40mg isn't enough, or Strattera doesn't work in my case. 10mg would be the same as drinking sugared water. This is awkward. Other people with ADHD in Brazil reported that they only feel the meds working with a dosage of 80mg+. What the hell?

    • @FindingYourSerenity
      @FindingYourSerenity 2 місяці тому

      That is possible but I think maybe I am just an exception. Everyone metabolates drugs at different doses. I am a slow metaboliser of atomoxetine which is why a small dose works well and a larger dose gives me more side effects. It's in our DNA apparently. I've not heard of many people taking a lower dose and having such a positive effect as it did with me. I still have ADHD symptoms, the meds just help quieten everything down for me substantially enough for them to make a big difference to my life.

What she is experiencing is a drug effect, a numbing of her brain, which can sometimes be nice to some (se evidens a, alcohol) but the numbing through adhd drugs are more permanent than other recreational substances.

      I would imagine from his experience (from what he told me) most people do better on a higher dose 40/60mg and that even if you feel really good, it doesn't mean it can't get better so why not try? He was right to do so as on 25mg I felt my best. 30mg was too much and made me feel like a zombie. I'm a slow metaboliser of this particular medication so a lower dose was better for me overall.
