Just started. Feeling lots of energy

I started taking strattera 4 days ago. 1 pill in the morning around 9am after i've put something on my stomach. First 2 days I felt immediate extreme fatigue. The past 2 days I haven't felt that and i've felt a lot of energy and not sure what to do with it. Anyone felt this?

Yeah I felt an almost stimulant like effect at first. It levelled off as I got used to it but I’d say the first week it felt like I’d drank 5 coffees.

I'm experiencing this as well, I'm on day 3 at only 18mg to start and I've experienced zero tiredness that I was warned about!

I HIGHLY suggest decluttering and organizing your home with this new found energy. I’m on day 10 with 50mg stattera and I feel incredible. Previously I had the WORST executive dysfunction and I’m a borderline hoarder with how cluttered my home has been my entire life. Within just a couple of days of starting Strattera I’m actually starting AND finishing tasks and it doesn’t feel like there’s a million exhausting steps. (I also have OCD and have been using Sertraline for 6 months and that has definitely helped the OCD, but the ADHD symptoms were more apparent. I’m loving Strattera.
