Strattera- anyone else notice...? | ADHD Information

I had this symptom when I first went on Strattera, it goes away in a couple of weeks. This is a VERY difficult drug to adjust to.

Can't help but wonder if Strattera may be affecting my night time vision.  

Started taking Strattera 7 days ago for my ADD.  Driving home from a meeting last night the glare factor seemed intense to me and made driving difficult.  I came home thinking - I'll never drive at night again!!  Then it hit me - early this morning- I had read that Strattera can cause pupil dialation.  Could this be the cause of night glare?  Does anyone know if this is a temporary side effect? 

Really not wanting to switch meds --again-- it's been a long road.  Anyone out there experienced this problem and know any answers? 

GOOD MORNING THYME !    I have just started taking this also , and last night on my way home from work it was rainning ...I found myself have to try really hard to watch what i was doing , and not like the normal watch what your doing when its rainning ....i was very spacy and kind of dizzy ....my mom has a friend at work that it also on this . she said you have to give it a few weeks to really see if it works for you . she said that it is the best thing, and that shes so glad she stuck it out....my biggest thing is falling asleep at my desk ! boss loves that one .   It is ok till about 12:30 or so then i can't even keep my eyes open for anything!!    try to give yourself more time on this before you move on to somthing else ..any meds that mess with the brian can take some getting use to ...  hope this helps Jill~
