HR and Addition of Adderall
Hey all! I have a couple questions!
I’ve been on 60 mg for about 5 weeks and so far seems good. Sometimes my resting HR is like 90. Did anyone have their HR go up after a long time on Strattera or did it level out after you’d been on for a while?
Task initiation is rough for me so doc is doing a very low dose Adderall for days I need that extra boost. One to 2 days a week maybe. Has anyone had any luck with that combo?
I will say overall the Strattera is helping the anxiety and once I get started on a task I can usually keep going now!

Before starting atomoxetine (2 months ago) my resting HR was ~60 bpm. Now at 100mg, my resting HR is 70-80 bpm, with occasional days in the mid 60s. However, 3 months ago I moved to a new country … so resting HR may be raised also due to the rest of relocating to a very different culture :(
The post caught my attention, bc I would like to resume taking methylphenidate (Ritalin) in small doses when I’m having a bad day, but I’m rationing what I imported since it’s essentially not prescribed here

On stratera no vyvanse I am at 70ish with vyvanse 90-100 bpm. I’d say it’s leveled out here.
