I am a female born Dec. 1948…my 34 yr. career in Oral health care has finally become something I can actually “handle”, since I “self-diagnosed” myself with ADD nearly 3 years ago. I was actually threatened with the loss of position at a very reputable Oral Surgery Office…due to NOT being able to remember from am to pm sometimes, what I had been told or instructed on less than 4 hours prior!!
However, I guess my question is,…are there any real studies on (meno-pausal) women my age, regarding the notations I read, regarding suicide etc. I also have kind of an on-going “eating disorder” which I’m able to manage and control myself, although for unexplainable periodic reasons, and certainly I, am confused as to “WHY”, it seems to return en force eve ry couple of weeks or so. Can you perhaps tell me a little about what I can expect now that my physchiatrist has prescribed this new Strattera to be taken as well as the 54mg. Concerta I already take.8
that is wierd that he perscribed you stratera when you already take concerta. concerta is a stimulant adhd medication and stratera is a non stimulant adhad medication. maybe he is trying to see if you like the stratera better, but i find it odd that he has put you on that when he first perscribed you a stimulant. i was on concerta and recently i switched to aderal… either way they both majorly supress my apeitite and urge to eat out of bordem. due to that i have lost weight. has the medication worked for you? did it make you more anxious… maybe thats why he switched you
