Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
As soon as the therapeutic blood levels are achieved,Stratterra starts working and some patients start feeling better but the optimum effect would be achieved in two weeks,
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
