hi again amy.
really? what kind of side effects? :)>>
sorry it's taken so long to get back to ya. The side effects were bizarre. My bdy felt feverish, while my brain felt cold, if you could imagine that. I sweated violently. The glands in my neck were swollen, so much so that it actually hurt to turn my neck. And I felt 'ill' all the time, queasy, with a lot of GI tract pain. I spent a lot of time thinking about going to a GP, or just buying a thermometer :) I figured the effects would dissipate after d/c'ing the Prov, and they did.
now, after all that, try to imagine this: I had REDUCED anxiety, improved concentration, markedly more energy (though I still displayed the activity level more typical of a sloth than of any other mammalian species), was running several miles a day, had an increased appetite and gained weight (the bane of stims for me has always been anorexia, which Ritalin causes, although I may be getting past that thanks to nortriptyline). And my handwriting improved! Well, you wouldn't appreciate that one, as you've never seen my handwriting ;)
btw I am giving Strattera another try at a low dose. Wish me luck- I may need it!
