Strattera 8-week review from someone who couldn't take stimulants (heart condition)

Heart condition means stimulants were never on the table for me, so here's the review I wish existed when my only option was atomoxetine. Weeks 1-3: nausea, and a strong suspicion I was paying $80/month for placebo. Almost quit twice. Week 4-5: caught myself finishing entire conversations without my brain wandering off mid-sentence. Subtle, but new. Week 8: I'd guess 70% of what people describe with stimulants. But it's *steady* — no crash, no watching the clock for wear-off, no "is it working today" lottery. The catch: it's slow, it's unglamorous, and you can't skip days. 41M, Ontario. If you're stimulant-ineligible and losing hope, this is your sign to give the boring option its 8 weeks. Question for clinicians — is week 8 roughly the ceiling, or does it keep building past that?
