I started on 40mg for a week then took two pills after five days putting me up to 80 mg a day. Yikes, I am thinking now I am on a high does compared to your 25mg. I think Im going to stop it. Week two of this med and I feel irritable and angry. Negative and depressed. I also have insomnia. The only good thing about this med is that my appetitie has decreased a lot, but in the long run not worth the side effects that are bad. :(
Strattera (atomoxetine) has a half-life of three to four days. This means it has a steady state of about 15 days. This is about normal for most drugs. As far as how long it treats ADD/ADHD symptoms, it seems to last about six hours. Strattera affects hyperactivity and impulse control by reining it in by treating chemicals in the brain and nerves that cause those conditions.
1.33 days
An increase in dosage is recommended after 3 days. Than after another 4 to 6 weeks dosage can be increased. Since it is not proven that additional doses are effective, physicians are advised to reconsider careful long term use.
About 5-6 hours!!but it depends if it's sr orrr the extended release tablet
10 hours
100mg
depends on tolerance , and what your diet consist of that day
Sure, most drugs can be prescribed for extended periods of time. Certainly antidepressants (Strattera is a failed antidepressant) are prescribed as such. No studies have examined the long-term effects of Strattera, and therefore it is not recommended that Strattera be used in the long-term. In fact, the Strattera drug information specifically states,"Strattera is not for long-term use." Be careful with drugs like Strattera (antidepressants in general): their specific effects on the brain and their long-term effects are not well-known. These drugs can permanently alter your brain chemistry and cause a variety of secondary effects (for which you'll be prescribed more medications). Of course, this is just my opinion, and it is based on anecdotal evidence. Be cautious.
Inositol, depending on the dosage, can stay in your body up to a month after you stop taking it. Symptoms can last that long also.
How long a drug stays in a persons seasons is dependent on the dosage amount of the last dose taken. This drug can stay in a persons system for up to a week.
The patent expires in 2017. You don't have all that long to wait.
