I've been taking strattera for a little over a month now and have noticed only negligable gains until bam....last week I really started to feel the effects. Truly, it was helping me to concentate and get my work done in an orderly and timely fashion plus I was feeling much better overall. Along with these gains however, I also started to notice some unwelcome side effects as well. For instance, I was a bit sluggish -but- that lethargy can be solved via Starbucks so not too worried. What does worry me is the sexual side effects. Since the onset of the postive gains the trade-off seems to be that I can't manage to maintain or even get an erection (so far 1 week). This obviously is unacceptable. And so, I would like to know if this sexual side-effect dissipates over time and if I stop taking strattera will I be back to normal (& what's the time frame).
For now, I am willing to wait it out but if somebody anybody can offer some insight on this matter it would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, I would like to hear from someone who has been on strattera for several months or more. Again, I willing to let strattera run its course because it seems to have some benefits but I have a zero tolerance policy against impotence.
Also, someone posted a question about sperm/fertility what's the verdict on that? Thanks so much.
