atomoxetine ssri

Hey, I've just been diagnosed with ADHD and I'll be taking Atomoxetine. It's the non - stimulant type, I was thinking the stimulant form of medication would suit me better with such as an Amphetamine based one. 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.

Well, Strattera is "Classified as a norepinephrine (noradrenaline) reuptake inhibitor, atomoxetine is approved for use in children, adolescents, and adults. However, its efficacy has not been studied in children under six years old.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this website and usually never post anything on the internet bit I have got to a place where I need some advice. I was diagnosed with ADHD 9/9 in March this year by a phsyciatrist at a harley street in London(remotley) I tried stimulants dextroamphetamine and listamphetamin but they didn't agree with me. I was then prescribed atomoxetine. I took these for 4 weeks- start with 10mg then 20mg then 40mg and called my harley phsyciatrist as I was running out.

0) after being on a dug trail for Atomoxetine, (last year, at age 45 yrs) by an A.D.H.D. specalist team in Northampton England. Aparently many medical teams around the world dont belive a.d.h.d goes into adulthood, belive me it does! I have it extreamly badly, and after a disastor with Rittaline im now on Strattera (atomoxetine, which is not yet licenced in u.k.) is there any other adults out there that have been, like me, misdiagnosed for years because . .. when I was a child a.d.h.

* Nonstimulant medication, such as the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin and generic) or atomoxetine (Strattera), which is not available as a generic.

Hi guys, I hope someone is able to help me with this… I am currently taking Atomoxetine – a medication used to treat ADHD in adults. I take 40mg once daily in the morning and it really helps me to concentrate better and function the way I need to etc… One of the main issues I have is the effect it has on my penis and testicles.

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.

Hi guys, Basically to start with, I already have a low sperm count caused by epididymitis. I went for a fertility test and got the following results: Appearance: Normal Liquification: Abnormal Viscosity: Abnormal pH: 8.0 Volume: 0.5 mL Motility (Progressive): 28.50% Motility (Non-Progressive): 62.00% Motility (Immotile): 28.50% Vitality Vital: 37.65% Vitality Dead: 62.35% Morphology: Normal - 3.40% Sperm Concentration 24.3 Million per mL Total Sperm Count: 12.

He suggested that this is autoimmune in nature and that an SSRI may help. i tried Prozac for a week once and some of my endocrine bloodwork went wacky (prolactin level was 165, normal is no higher than 30 and I was having hot flashes) Have any of you had any luck with an antidepressant in this class? My primary doc is reluctant as he says i am not depressed, although the situation can be depressing.

Is ssri weight gain dose dependent?

Has your daughter tried a non-stimulant medication such as Straterra (atomoxetine)?

The doctor decided I should try another SSRI. Which makes sense cause I have read a lot of blogs where people have had their SSRI "poop out" on them over time. I started the Zoloft on 25 mg for the first week and went down to 10 mg of the Paxil the same week, then 50 mg Zoloft the next week and 5mg Paxil, the following week I stayed at the same 50 mg Zoloft and went to 2.5 paxil. During all of this time I had the horrible side effects from starting and withdrawing from SSRI meds.

Can you take an ssri antidepressant forever or will it eventually not work because of tolerance build up? Is tolerance even an issue with an ssri? if you do build a tolerance, then can you only take a ssri until your tolerance builds to the point where you would have to take more than the allowed maximum prescription? so what are you to do if you need an ssri forever and the amount you need is above what is safely prescribed?

After the sampling of the many MEDS. over the years, I settled on Tenormin and Klonopin ( mostly PRN now after the institute of an SSRI/SNRI ) again, after so many trials of different meds. Sorry, for such a long post but I wanted to clarify "my" specific conditions/symptoms, so I can maybe get some help/advice from others in this forum in the same horrific boat.

Maybe do a google search and see if there are any foods that might have the same properties of the SSRI, or maybe even other drugs that are related. I would also call my pharmacist and ask him/her, they should know if nobody else does as drugs are their area of expertise.

I just signed up to this forum. I have never done anything like this before. But, I really need help. The irony is I am a master's level therapist, and have been for many years. I believe I may be suffering so I can relate and better help my clients. I am in practice with a psychiatrist, but have not told her of this. I guess I am embarrassed. Anyhow, approx. 3 years ago a physician friend prescribed PAXIL for my mild OCD symptoms, my own diagnoses.

Every time I try a medication that has a reuptake effect on norepeneprhine I get this mild burning sensation on the left side of my chest. So far I have had this happen with Atomoxetine, Venlafaxine, Bupropion and now Nortrypytiline. It isn't anxiety, a panic attack or heartburn, just a dull, moderately uncomfortable, burning sensation. I'm fine with all the SSRI's and medications like Rexulti. It's just the ones that affect NE.

Usually, an antidepressant like an SSRI is prescribed and a benzo is given short term, until the side effects of the SSRI (if any) start to subside...and the SSRI starts doing its job. Also keep in mind that it takes generally 2-4 weeks for an SSRI to really start making a difference. For some people, it can take up to 6-8 weeks. Generally, the idea is...once the SSRI starts working, the need for the benzo will decrease automatically.

So once person is off ssri, their serotonin levels are low and can't get back to the way they were before taking ssri? And what is considered long term ssri usage?
