Welcome to ⭐️Straterra Lane⭐️ and personally I'm not really feeling the benefits, it feels like a medicine that psychologist give you and hope for the best I guess? I feel like when they told me I'd be on this medication I would have less ADHD disruptions but as time rolled on, I don't feel nor see difference. I in fact see it as "another plain medication" I take everyday. Does nothing for me.

I was on 25mg as well and it worked for me but I’m having to switch atm because of the side effects. It takes about a month or so for it to take effect though, not sure how long you’ve taken it.

What side effects?

I just got mine upped to 40 mg. twice a day - it's helping but I honestly miss Ritalin and my doctor won't prescribe it. The Strattera is better than nothing but we started on too small a dose, which makes me angry. I find it's great for about 3/4 of the day but even taking my afternoon dose I'm exhausted by about 7pm.

I have never taken Straterra personally but I will say maybe you need to go up on the dosage. I have tried several different medications and the lowest dosage of anything has never worked fo rme.

I’m a junior and I have the opportunity to join the employment and benefits group as a specialist. The alternative is VC/M&A.

I’m under the impression that joining the EB group will still give me decent exit ops, has more manageable workflow (less unexpected dumpster fires like in deal-work), and a somewhat better WLB because of my previous point.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
