Avatar m tn Hey, I've just been diagnosed with ADHD and I'll be taking Atomoxetine.

I was a user on speed awhile ago and when I was on I felt established, in control, I could concentrate and express my inteligence.
Avatar m tn I cannot stop taking the medication because it helps me function properly, and without it I simply cannot cope. I have also tried alternative medications to see if they work as well as Atomoxetine, but unfortunately they don’t because I have adverse effects or side effects to them.

Avatar n tn She was obsessing over perfecting her school work. We ended up stopping her from doing any school work outside the classroom because she was not sleeping at night. She was up all hours doing homework. For example, a 2 hour assignment would take her 24 hours..and only took 24 hours because I made her stop. She now blames me for her not being able to do homework, because we successfully treated her OCD to decrease most of her obsessions...
Avatar n tn Hi. There is no current study that prohibits Atomoxetine (Strattera) users to take creatine supplements. However, caution should be made when taking supplements, since both drugs can alter kidney function and cause urinary symptoms (e.g. stones, dysuria) when not taken properly. I suggest that you ask your doctor first if these are safe for you to use. Thanks for asking.
