After having been on Strattera for 3 months ADD symptoms are coming back is this unusual?

I am begining to notice the same thing. Strattera had a very intense affect on me the first couple of days. I felt extreemly focused but felt as if I was in an altered state. After a week or so that "altered" feeling began to subside and I just felt "really focued" the benefits seemed to be wearing off going into the 2nd month however. So I asked my doctor to increase my dossage from 80 mg every day to 100 mg. This made a difference for a about a month.

Now I have been taking 100 mg (2 25 mg tablets twice a day) for about 3 months and I am not noticing hardly any benefits anymore. I really would like to know if you body builds up a tolerance to the medication. Right now I feel like I may be wasting my money on the medication. I am affraid to stop taking it because I fear the withdrawl affects.

I cant increase my dosage because 100 mg is the maximum.

Can anyone give me some insight?

Hi, Per my daughters psychiatrist....new studies have found that while increasing the dose may show an improvement for the first couple weeks if the dose gets to high then you can see an increase in ADHD symptoms....we lowered her dose and she did much better on a lower dose than the higher one...hope this helps
