Strattera user needs help | ADHD Information

Back Story:
My name is Steven Barnes (20 years old), and I suffer from ADHD. I was diagnosed about 4 weeks ago and since then I have been taking 40mg of Strattera a day. Since I was diagnosed with having ADHD and I have been taking medicine for it, I have been able to do stuff that I never thought I could(i.e. finish a flash web site, finish projects for my boss in a timely manner). This medicine has been a God-sent.

Problem:
I was reading on the side effects
[quote] The most common side effects were constipation, dry mouth, nausea, decreased appetite, problems sleeping, sexual side effects, problems urinating, and menstrual cramps.[/quote]

Well as far as the ones i have seen or suffered from: the dry mouth(currently drinking water), problems sleeping (it is 6:30 AM EST and I do not have to be at work till 11:00(what do you think)), nausea (not that bad), and not listed above but i have seen.. mood swings.
But I have resently been seeing a new uninvited one, pupil dilation and slight eye pain. 2 days ago they were 7 mm dilated and well it freaked me out. I talked to a Paramedic and he said it was not normal. So I called the doctor and he really did not know anything about it, just told me to stop taking the med. for a day to see if it clears it up.

It is kinda weird going around with huge eyes and everyone thinks your high.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this subject.

I thought it was just me with the pupils. Don't worry your not
alone I have been on it for two weeks and my boss asked me
the other day if I was high. I have all the side effects as you. At
first I really felt like I was getting alot done but this week. Not so
much. I think I might switch to something else.
