Strattera side effects, dosage? | ADHD Information

Share
Give it more time. Side effects will fade or go away completely. Starting at very low dose and slowly advancing to appropriate dose will help. Monitor blood pressure I have been on for 18m and just now figured out probably causing my bp to go up. Supposed to only happen in 2% of users. Lucky me really like Strattera not perfect but helps level me out no more hyperfocusing on stupid stuff. Still have concentration problems but things are overall clearer than before. Afraid to stop it but have to investigate the BP thing. Hope this helps.

Since being put on Strattera I've read some really discouraging things about it.  I'm having a lot of trouble with side effects.  My good moods aren't as good, I have no appetite and don't want to eat except for pizza and sugar (this is something I haven't experienced for several years, when i was younger and was going through major depression), extreme caffiene cravings, and physical responses that don't seem to be connected to emotions: needing to cry, feeling jittery and anxious.  It helps me keep an even energy level through the day, but I get tired early in the evening and my energy level is never high enough to really work hard or get things done.

I've been on it for almost two weeks. Do these things go away, and has increasing the dosage helped with these things for anyone? Or do the side effects remain?

How did it work out for you? Any other side effects or did they slowly go away. I don't like the bad mood part.
