Hi! I'm new to the group :) (my name is Heather).

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and put on Strattera. Since I've been on it, I've had the worst cravings for sweets! I know some people say it decreases appetite but it seems like I've had the opposite effect. I've read somewhere that increasing your dose can help with this though. Anyone have any experience with the medicine? I'm only on 40 mg right now.

Thanks!
Heather

    I've never tried it. What have you tried in place of the sweets? Fruit? Fight hard to combat those cravings! You can do it.
