I've been on Strattera for 2 months, 3 weeks. I take it for Depression. I found that I have to take both Provigil and Strattera together to get a good result. It is hard for me to gauge exactly because a lot of situational things have been going on, but I think the two drugs are giving me much more energy, as well as clarity and vastly decreased suicidal ideation.
I also take Prozac which puts me in the "Poor Metabolizer's" category. That means that I should take much less (half?) than the recommended dose of Strattera. But 40mg didn't do it, and 80mg is doing much better. From what I've read on this board, the dosing is really individual for Strattera.
You can find the prescribing information at http://pi.lilly.com/us/strattera-pi.pdf Maybe that will help you understand your symptoms (Lots of it I can't read. I just read the parts I can)
Good luck to you! I hope it will work.
