That's a really low dose and I'm like a zombie. Supposedly therapeutic dosage is around 10 Mg twice a day  . I really am a light weight when it comes to these things. If I were a drinker-- I would be a cheap drunk.
Maybe it's a stimulant for some people. To me it seems like it does to me what a xanax would do for a lot of people. It's early though, I've only been on it for 2 1/2 days. Hopefully these effects will change. I'm glad it's spring break this week. |
That's a really low dose. If you increase to the 5 mg and your still a zombie - then I would question if it's the right medication for you. The stimulants should make it easier to focus but not turn you into a zombie. I wonder if a non stimulant like Strattera would be a better option. It's supposed to help with focus in inattentive type ADD.
