When I was on Atomoxine, my experience was that if I missed a dose my ADHD felt more pronounced and I was a little bit more dysfunctional for a couple days than I would have been if I was unmedicated. Hard to tell how much of that was just the contrast of not being on it, vs an effect of coming off it, but it felt like more than just not having the meds' help
Wish you the best!
Same (and I learned this because my latest batch of pills seems to have been messed up, possibly missing the actual active ingredient)...
Currently on it, same experience.
