strattera and loss of appetite

She has trouble falling asleep and staying asleep and has alot of anxiety. Therapist just labeled her anorexic. Is there anyway to get her appetite back and still take meds?

Strattera is a treatment for ADHD that is not in the psychostimulant family of medications. It does not suppress appetite and is quite an effective medication, particularly for those children who are inattentive but not hyperactive.

t seen before/ good luck here is the article Mcihelle Safety Information In some children and teens, Strattera increases the risk of suicidal thoughts. A combined analysis of 12 studies of Strattera showed that in children and teens this risk was 0.4% for those taking Strattera compared to none for those taking a sugar pill. A similar analysis in adults treated with Strattera did not reveal an increased risk of suicidal thoughts.

but it is questionable to me why none of the medications work for her and none of the medications cause a loss of appetite, she actually seems to always to be hungry. I do not know where else to go...two psyhiatrists, one psychologist, and out family doctor... Now we have to make a change of some kind she has elevated liver enzyme and increased heart rate so family doctor wants to take her off her adderall. Any thoughts???

I've been prescribed adderall for the past 4 years, I currently take 75mg per day. A couple months ago my Dr. started me on strattera in conjunction with my adderall. I have not noticed any improvement in my ability to concentrate or remain organized since starting the strattera, however my anxiety is gone and I am finally happy. A couple weeks ago my Dr. left and I was given a "temp" to take her place.

I know that abilify helps you have an appetite and gain weight and my son is only 56lbs and 11yrs old...

Is it safe to take Adderal XR and Strattera at the same time? I only have a two week supply of Strattera remaining and I'm very much dreading going back to my old self. If it is safe to combine both medications, what should I say to my doctor?

Not fully true, i failed this morning for amphetamines after starting strattera a week ago and having clean drug tests before today.. After doing some digging i found theses http://www.hindawi.com/journals/crips/2013/381261/ http://www.ehealthme.

Hello, I hear that you are struggling to eat as a result of loss of appetite. This may or may not be related to the medication you are taking. I would recommend sharing this information with the doctor who prescribed these medications for you so that he/she may assess your symptoms and choose the best course of action. Warmly, Dr.

I have been dealing with gynecological problems, high HR and BP, loss of appetite, and terrible sleep. It is overwhelming to sort out all this stuff. Thankfully, two of the gynecological issues have been resolved. hurray! Nuts are one of the things I have found myself able to eat, probably for the reasons you mentioned, Heiferly. I feel full fast so nuts are a good way to get myself to eat without having to eat a large volume of food.

shes active enough and her moods are fine shes just the same apart fron this loss of appetite and she takes ages to eat it..she has always been a slow eater so thats nothing new but this is so slow half the time it goes cold then even i wouldnt want to eat it..any suggestions or do you think i should get her checked out..

yes!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 5 days and my appetite has been non existant.. actually that's not true, earlier on, when we first found out, i was HUNGRY all the time, but then that stopped once my nose transformed into a hound dog's.. no my appetite is gone.. and i have to force my self to eat.. nothing appeals to me anymore.. and it seems like the only way i can eat, is if i look at it first.... if i dont wanna fun to the bathroom, i can eat it..

If im cooking, after sometime i feel like throwing up coz i cant look at the food i was cooking! I miss my appetite. Cant even eat fast. I eat porridge and oatmeal and takes me forever to finish a bowl. Grrrrr. Oh well, anything for our babies.

Hi I am currently 10w2d pregnant and have no appetite at all and just don't feel like eating? I feel nauseous and try to eat but nothing appeals to me. Any advice?

At least you are getting back into the habit of it and this may also trigger your appetite to come back to normal. Hope this helps!

Yeah everyones different but, everyone seems to have a major loss of appetite. On day 7 I was forcing a little bit of toast, and bland foods down, but everything tasted horrible for about 2 weeks. I lost 15lbs but, it caused me to go to ER b/c my potasssium levels were very low. So they gave me a magnesium IV and a 10 day supply of potassium pills. After that I was eating anything and everything in site....lol.

i am about 6 weeks post treatment, and did 48 weeks of triple. i lost a lot of weight the last 2 months of treatment. early in treatment i began to lose desire for food due to nausea and had to really force that 20gms of fat down with the incivek. somwhere in the middle of treatment i lost the usual hunger sensations and it seemed to get more extreme towards the end. now at six weeks post treatment i am finding my desire for food is increasing.

t have many cravings... An egg and toast for breakfast, a protein shake for lunch etc... Apples and bananas and nuts for extra fiber and nutrients..

I hear that loss of appetite isn't an MS symptom. I've had problems with appetite ever since my gall bladder attack a few months ago. While this is causing me to lose weight, it's a little disconcerting - I love food too. The only thing that drives me to eat is a rumbling tummy, and it really has to rumble. When I was taking steroids, I had more appetite, not less, but I'm sure it's different for everyone.

I personally lived on fruit smoothies and pop tarts and cereal and Popsicles lol. Then in my 2nd and 3rd I got to eating more nutritious meals.

When you repost this please include any and all labs and values you have currently, what the doctors have said, and what his symptoms are. Yes, unlike doctors we are very interested in symptoms. We believe that is the heart of auto immune and it goes so commonly ignored. I really hope you get some answers soon!

I went through a stage where I never was really hungry or had much of an appetite.. I'm now 33 weeks and feel like I want to eat all the time... I'm also pregnant with twins. Either way they are going to take what they need from you regardless.

I know a lot of people that have went through a major move, job loss, or divorce and it has caused them a lot of anxiety symptoms that they can not handle. In my case I have taken Celexa 2 times in the past and after a month or so it helps. I wish I didn't need medication, but without I don't how long I would have lost my appetite and not slept well.

He was a very healthy puppy when we got him and had the appetite of any puppy his age. But from the past couple of years he seems to detest food. We've tried experimenting with all sorts of foods but he just doesnt want to eat. We've finally resorted to force feeding him. Could you please suggest an alternative for this?
