Available strengths
10 mg · 18 mg · 25 mg · 40 mg · 60 mg · 80 mg · 100 mg
Coverage
24-hour coverage once established (2–6 weeks to full effect). Unlike stimulants, coverage doesn’t switch on and off the same day — the effect builds with consistent daily dosing.
Why there are no dose equivalents
Strattera works through a different mechanism than stimulants, so no conversion ratio exists between it and Adderall, Vyvanse, or Ritalin. Prescribers start at a standard dose and titrate by response — independent of any stimulant dose you were taking. The converter will tell you the same thing.
