Need someone Knowledgeable in adhd medications
Strattera
- took to stop tic from clonodine. Took one pill, was like a wound up monkey. Couldn't even stay in school that day. So I stopped that. All these meds no appetite, lost weight, bad constipation . Concerta was the last one tried and helped the most with symptoms.

Strattera/atomoxetine
My 15 yo son just began straterra/atomoxetine. How long has it taken for your body to get used to the medication? He is complaining he's so tired.

Qelbree Side Effects
Strattera
, which is a similar medication, made him incredibly ill so we had to take him off that after two weeks.

Strattera for mood and ADHD
We have been told that
Strattera
is a drug that can help with both ADHD and mood. Does anyone have anything to share on this topic? His biggest problems are academics, mood, and executive function.

Looking for advice on advanced diagnostics/treatment centers I could visit for a few days for adult inattentive type ADD.
Next I tried
Strattera
. It made me sweat a great deal but didn't do anything for my focus. Previously I had taken Wellbutrin before my diagnosis and it just made me angry but no additional focus.

Gabapentin for anxiety - mood dysregulation?? Looking for others experiences..
Both stimulant molecules and
Strattera
at lowest dose caused irritability. Guanfacine seemed to work pretty well but we still saw room for improvement. High doses just caused a flat affect. The Doc feels that there is a lot more going on that Guanfacine just can’t cover.

6 year old Starting Strattera
He started him on
strattera
, which he said had to do with my son's hyperactivity, as he was thinking a stimulant might exacerbate the symptoms.

Spouse doesn't believe in ADHD
Started on
strattera
and am in shock at how much easier it is for me to do basic things like respond to emails, file paperwork, put the laundry away etc. My husband has been pretty dismissive of this whole process since I started seeking a diagnosis 6 months ago.

Started Latuda a month ago
I was on a low dose of
Strattera
. My world was finally making sense and I could accomplish daily tasks when I had motivation. It made me really sleepy though. I did take it at night, but the next day I would still feel sluggish.

No motivation or attempts to complete schoolwork or any task beyond...
She has bounced from Adderal to
Strattera
to Ritalin currently to treat ADHD. Failing 3 classes presently her senior yr and is a bright, talented girl. 504 accomodations are not helping. We have never felt so helpless or saddened about her future. Counseling for her as well over the past years.

New here and newly diagnosed in middle age!
I was diagnosed at the beginning of November and was prescribed
Strattera
. So far, the medication effects aren't overwhelming, but I do notice some difference.

Switching from stimulant to non-stimulant
She mentioned switching to
Strattera
only. I am nervous to go from a stimulant that he has been taking for 2.5 years to a non-stimulant. Has anyone ever done this? I have read it take several weeks to see the effects of the non stimulant. I hate to keep changing his medications.

Strattera experience
Is this just in the beginning phase of the medication or it will continue as the
Strattera
starts working as I read after 4 or more weeks of taking it.

Gonna give it a second go
I miss living and enjoying my life and with the ADHD meds (I’m hoping for
Strattera
, I don’t want to be on any stimulant ADHD meds) maybe my mind will relax and calm down a bit. I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to do this but I’m hoping to within the next few months.

First TimeStrattera
Now, we're trying
Strattera
in the hope that he'll get going a bit quicker and better with his school work. We're hoping it'll get a boost with it. As we all do, I've read all about
Strattera
, the need to remain patient, the side effects, and the truth is I would love it if it works.

Suffering from pre glaucoma narrow angles; Alternatives to Adderall.
Adderall (stimulants), Ritalin family,
Strattera
info says to avoid. Adderall has been so effective for many years. Any suggestions?

New here-First Post
He's also taking
strattera
. Doctor might start him on focalin in a few weeks. I'm so overwhelmed having my child on so many medications. He struggles with depression/adhd (inatentive). He's not able to follow through or keep up with school work and is very stressed out about being behind.

A little insight would be wonderful. I’m new here!
He prescribed me
Strattera
and I graduated nursing school with a 4.0. For the first time in my life I truly felt smart and accomplished. I stopped taking it when I graduated. I still don’t have a formal diagnosis but I feel like I’m handling life without medication except for one thing.
