I began to struggle with adult AD after I went through menopause. Perhaps I always had it but had the energy to cover all the bases and cover it up. I've always been a great multi-tasker but things started to fall apart. At 60 years old I finally asked my Dr. for something to help me focus and I was put on Strattera. It helped immediately and I was back to my younger self, able to handle the big holiday entertaining, etc that I had begun to fumble. A wonderful side effect was an increase in sexual climax strength! After 57 years old my climax had become "short and light" compared to the full, wonderful fullfillment of my younger years. (When I complained to my Dr. he answered "that's aging for you") Within weeks of the Strattera the climax I had known returned. Life was good.
I shared this side effect with my Dr. and he said it was all in my head. Ladies, I assure you it's not ALL IN MY HEAD! And, it's very wonderful!!!!! Hope this brings fullfillment to others!

Dear Friend:
Thanks for sharing this experience. I am a female, 44 years old, my brother has adhd and I have always had a little bit of a problem focusing, not enough of a problem that I mentioned it to my doc. After reading your post I am going to pay closer attention to my ability to stay focused. I don't typically have a problem climaxing but I do notice that my climax's are not as intense as other times. Climax's are, in my opinion, very important so I'm glad to hear that you are back on the Strattera. It's funny how many doctors discount real patient experiences as being "in your head". After reading your post I may ask my doctor if I can try Strattera to see what effect it has my possible ad and if it increases the impact of my climaxes-what a wonderful side benefit. Thanks for sharing.
