Was on 25 strattera for 3 weeks to start - honestly felt like i was fixed- way less starting block, more productive energy, really good executive function, feeling calmer and more confident.

End of 3rd week, felt like the benefits were slightly dropping off. Then moved to 35 and had few issues with sleep and other issues - heat flashes, feeling uncoordinated etc which made doc move me back to 25 after 4 weeks of 35.

Now it's been about 2.5 weeks back on 25 but I feel like I'm back to the way i was with executive issues, avoidance etc. I'm not productive and my minds all over the place.

Anyone else had this issue? What did you do after?

It's been an uphill task all my life to get semi decent at the interviews. Cleared the cs degree mostly by luck. Currently average or close to below average pay. I've only recently at 26 gotten the diagnosis but it is something I've been aware of my whole life.

Studying constantly to keep up with the trends and not losing interviewing skills is making me feel like a prisoner of my own doing. I'm sometimes making progress then sometimes back to 0 and I have no time to explore other things. Albeit I'm still not with the right meds i think but still it's been more than a decade of dysfunction and I'm wondering if I should've less prepare heavy jobs and something more aligned with how I'm wired.

Does anyone else feel this way/ what jobs do you think you might've done better at?
