ADD and Strattera

Shae · October 27, 2011

I am 8 days out and really missing my Strattera. My focus is all over the place and I feel a bit discombobulated most of the time.

I was on liquids for the first four days (first day nothing, second day Water only, third and fourth day clears) and I have been on full liquids since then. I am supposed to wait until the three week mark to switch to soft foods and probably won't make it that long because I am going out of my mind just drinking everything. I would kill to be able to chew something other than ice, gum or Flintstones! LOL! Liquids just have never left me feeling full or satisfied. I am learning to notice when the pouch is full but it doesn't help the urge to chew.

Once on soft foods, I should be able to take my time released meds like Strattera, right? Then I will have more than just liquid in my stomach to buffer the meds.

What are some of your experiences with time released meds and being able to actually wait until the three week mark for soft foods?

I started taking mine 2 days after surgery. I tried to dissolve them as much as possible but after about a week I just swallowed them and everything was fine. I was only on a liquid diet for a week. After that I was on mushies for several weeks. I'm 8 1/2 months out and had no problems with the meds. I take add medicine as well.
