Straterra

by Darkestlight, Aug 02, 2009 11:19AM

I was recently put on straterra. It is the first medicine that they have tried to treat my ADHD as I was diagnosed late in life. But it explains my school performance all my life along with other behaviors that I do. I was hoping to find a medicine that would help me so I could finally finish college. Straterra is NOT helping. It makes me sleep. Obviously I can't study if I'm sleeping. Plus I have 2 children right now under the age of 2 and my husband is about to leave for a year so sleeping is not a big option for me. Anyone else had a problem with sleepiness with straterra? Any recommendation on a good medicine?

Thanks!!
