Hello, now they put me on Straterra and it’s also giving me massive headaches just like the stimulant did. Is there a non stimulant that doesn’t give headache of doom, mouth that tastes filmy, and weird spasms in legs? This is driving me crazy, making it worse.

Being stimulants they are pretty much diuretics. I had the same problem with the headaches. My daughter-in-law who is also on adderal told me to drink a lot of water. I have a 24 oz cup and I drink two of them a day. It seems to take care of the problem. Give it a try

I was taking lexapro with mine, which come to find out was the cause. I stopped Lexapro and massive headaches were gone! I dunno if this is your situation or not. Keep trying to figure it out! Straterra itself does cause headaches though. Side effect.
