The Quest For Wisdom discusses my journey since starting treatment for ADHD in 2017 using Atomoxetine (Strattera). It explains what its like coming on to Atomoxetine (Strattera) the side effects, the positive effects, as well as coming off it.

My experience with Atomoxetine (Strattera) has not ended, and so it is a continuing story. Taking Strattera changed my life and now I feel like I have Super-powers. I want to share my journey with as many people as possible, and answer peoples questions and doubts.

When I started taking Strattera I searched the internet for some useful information and I found almost nothing regarding the side effects (or even the positive effects). I had heard that for some people it kills the libido, I had heard that some people had increased libido, (sex drive). I had heard that some people slept much better, whereas some people found it caused them insomnia.

My experience with the drug is of course only one persons experience, but I hope that at least it may make people feel less alone, and let them know that there are other people out there who are experiencing the same thing.

I have been extremely lucky and I experienced no major side effects until I, “accidentally”, stopped taking the drug and experienced the withdrawal and then the horrible 2 months coming back on the drug without tapering it up. At the time of writing this I am still going through this process and so day by day life gets easier again.

I have experienced what it is like to have two brains – medicated and un-medicated and my biggest regret in life was not getting treated sooner. I do not know how I even survived living with such a chaotic brain.
