hello folks!!!!!
well, every one seems to be songing and dancing and tiptoeing AROUND this touchy subject, but i will get straight to the point.....
I am a petite young lady, that had FINALLY managed to grow some meat onto my skinny little bones after getting married when i started strattera. I did not like it because I could literrally go for DAYS without eating if i didn't FORCE myself to eat!
I lost a whole CRAPLOAD of weight, and I stayed SO CONSTIPATED ALL THE TIME that my life was MISERABLE! i had the worst stomachaches i have EVER HAD!
As for my temperament?? I would have to give a POSITIVE response because, my husband says my moods calmed WAY DOWN and i was able to laugh things off much more easily, focus more, and was easy to get along with, and did not take myself or anyone else too seriously.
i would just have to take his word for it because I WAS TOO MISERABLY CONSTIPATED ALL THE TIME TO NOTICE!! i thought the side effects would wear off so i was on strattera for about 6 months, but it did not get better for me.
Now I KNOW i CAN'T be the only one who has had this problem obviously, because it is one of the main side effects listed for this drug, i just never HEAR anything about it because to lot's of people, this is a touchy, no discussing subject.
but, i will tell it like it is!!!
some people live by strattera, but it was just not for me.
