First post -- second week on Strattera...

I'm starting my second week on Strattera .. 

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Christine and I'm almost 58 years old.  After watching a TV show on PBS about adult ADHD/ADD, I had to admit that their stories were not similar, but EXACTLY like my own. 

* My elementary school years were pretty much spent sitting on a chair out in the hallway to stop me from disrupting the place -- became good friends with the janitor who would bring me hot tea when we moved to portables -- still on the chair out in the cold. 

* I have attended 6 (six) community colleges in my attempt to finish my bachelor's.  I hope to finish a master's sometime in my NEXT life. 

* I start many things, finish nothing; this past Christmas, I started 5 scarves and finished only one of them -- on December 27th. 

Well, that's a start.  Long-story-short, i have started Straterra -- and paying no attention to the erections that might last 4 hours or longer (as I'm a female, i didn't think this was pertinent), I think i am doing better.  Did you know, you can actually IGNORE the temptation to look at every one of the web sites about cats and dogs?  I found that out on Sunday. 

Talk to you all later.
