  • You take it every day. It’s a neural reuptake inhibitor, so it needs to build up in your system.

    For me, it’s not a fast fix like a stimulant would be. It just takes the edge off of my symptoms, make them easier to manage, and makes it easier to do stuff. In fact, the biggest thing I’ve noticed is the effect it has on executive dysfunction.

    Atomoxetine (straterra) is a slow burn. It takes at least a few weeks to start noticing any effects. I haven’t noticed any side effects, other than some trouble sleeping the first week when I first started taking it; but that was because my insurance wouldn’t approve me for a lower dosage to have a more graceful “ramp up” period.








  • Dettweiler@lemmy.worldtoPrivacy@lemmy.mlShould I glue my SIM tray shut?

    To actually answer your question:
    Super glue would be a decent option. You should only need one drop to secure the tray.

    If you ever need to open the tray again, wet the area with isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, and it should pop right open without damage. If you get too much resistance, add more alcohol and wait a little longer.

    There is also a 2-part epoxy with similar performance called “Doubkr Bubble” that also dissolves with alcohol, but it’s definitely overkill for a SIM tray.







  • I’m hoping some more non-stimulant meds have been approved; because after 2 years of Atomoxetine, my motivation has come to a screeching halt. My productive hobbies have been dead for a few months, and I’m back to feeling like I have no time or energy to get anything done. This past week has been the worst in a long time with just feeling tired and moody constantly.
