Hey guys,
I’ve been taking Atomoxetine for 5 months and I’m thinking of trying a different med because it isn’t stopping the ADHD for me.
I’ve been thinking it would probably be best to come off Strattera before I try the new med, firstly so I can be sure that whatever happens is caused purely by the new med, and secondly so that I can see what changes the Strattera actually caused.

How long did it take you guys to come off it (how quickly did you lower the dose)? If I wanted to start taking it again, would I have to wait another 6 weeks for it to work, like I did the first time?

    Great, thank you

    It takes about 5 half lives to clear 95% of a substance from your system. A quick google says the half life varies from 5-21hrs

    That’s clever, I didn’t realize you could calculate it like that! I guess we just need to know the threshold dose now…
