How long would it take to temporarily come off Strattera? - eviltoast

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?

    Took me several months. I had the worst luck with that stuff and went on vyvanse instead.

    I think like three months to wean myself, and I was only on it for like 9 months total
