Strattera side effects go away
Common Questions and Answers about Strattera side effects go away
strattera
Whenever a doctor prescribes a medication for a child, the parent would do well to investigate its side effects of the medication. ADD medications can be very nasty, and that includes Strattera.
In a case like this I would definitely investigate alternative medicine for the treatment of your child. The answer may be acupuncture which has no side effects. Do whatever works.
Now on wellbutrin for about a week but I feel foggy and it is causing worse ibs. Not sure if that side effect will go away but giving it a try. My question is, if anyone can answer, why was I able to take strattera as a child with 0 side effects and then high heart rate etc now. Im thinking it was the benzo withdrawal but I have no experience with that either so Idk. Also, with wellbutrin I dont have the heart rate just feel sleepy and foggy mind.
However the tremors are still there as well as extreme sweating, and muscle tightness. (I have been on this dose for approximately 2 weeks.
Not sure what you mean by stupid? Dull, lifeless, can't think? or ? If you google strattera you can see that it does not immediately effect you like a stimulant medication will. So its possible that this is what is going on and you need to give it some more time. At any rate, you should always remain in good communication with your doctor. He needs to know what is going on.
I've been on strattera for two weeks and the only strong side effect I seem to have is that I get really tired or fatigued around 2:00pm.
Will this side effect subside over time? Is there anyway to lessen it?
I've tried other ADD medications however because they are stimulants I tend to get really agitated or even a little paranoid when I'm on them so I am hoping that Strattera works out ok. Are there any other non-stimulant ADD medications?
My daughter is nearly 11 years old and has been taking Concerta (now on 36mg) since March. The doctor recommended a switch to Strattera for the reason that it works 24 hours (Concerta is effective for only 12 hours) and will help my daughter concentrate more. I have no idea whether Strattera is a better alternative, can anyone tell me if this is true?
t calm her fears and distraught because once she is on the couch in the living room she is calm right away and can go to sleep. She says that she wants to sleep in her room which she loves... Also, don't know if this applies.. she is diagnosed with ADHD and OCD and being treated with Strattera and behavior modification.
i've been on stelazine for about a year now along with the rest of the meds i started strattera about last month...
I see why you did that, as you were apparently treating withdrawal problems, but start up side effects are pretty common. Some of these go away as your body gets used to the drug and some don't, and it's a very individual thing. But it isn't anything particularly attached to just these two drugs, it's all of them. Even aspirin eats the lining of the stomach. So these might go away with time and they might not. Only time will say.
It is one of the side effects of Ritalin perhaps you should ask your Doctor for a new evaluation of the Med, if you ever decide to let him be on Natural Remedies, it has been shown in studies that food supplements have the same efficacy as Ritalin and a Muliple Vitamin-mineral with B Complex and Vit C also Fish oil, would be good, a lot of Parents are trying this now and their children and not getting the bad side effects that Ritalin and the other meds have.
It is working for his ADHD but it has loads of side effects (and he cannot take any of the stimulant type meds). We are not sure what to do about the semen leakage. He, understandably, is embarrassed about this and has started to wear diapers to work to protect his clothes. Is this the best option? Anyone has suggestions. He has decided to deal with the side effects bc of the clear benefits to his ADHD so I want to support him, we are just not sure what options are there.
i feel tired all the time how much longer should it take for the effects to kick in?
t want to play around with newer drugs with side effects I am afraid of. i know how the amphetamine adhd meds makes me feel and I am working now and doing fine but in a few days I will be out. I won't meet him (my psychiatrist)for another month. How can I get him to let me be on adderal instead of Strattera when he is afraid I will get addicted?
The evidence is overwhelming that the treatments are safe. Now, does this mean that there are no possible side effects? No. It is more a question of weighing the possible benefits of the treatment against the possible side effects. The most probable (vs possible) side effect of the stimulant medications is appetite suppression, particularly during the middle of the day. If you consider the use of these treatmenmts, be sure to talk about the side effect profile with the prescribing clinician.
Hello again,
"Anybody have experience like this or with these meds?"
The following is all just my opinion. Everyone reacts to medicine differently:
Concerta is an extended release form of Ritalin. Which is what I took when I was a kid. It is still a stimulant but it is much milder than Adderall. I think more doctors should start patients Concerta because it has fewer side effects than Adderall.
Strattera® (atomoxetine hydrochloride) is a prescription medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There are a number of possible side effects with Strattera, and weight loss is one that appears to occur commonly. For some people, this may be a good thing. For many people, however, unintended weight loss can be a problem. For example, weight loss can be a problem in growing children.
Did you read the side effects of those drugs on the web???? Why would anyone give a teenager stratera?...It has been know to cause suicides. I think you should look at her diet. MSG has 13 other names (research on web) and causes neurological problems along with anxiety. Get her diet off of all processed foods..go back to fresh vegetables/fruits. Microwaving foods effect the brain also. Grains have mycotoxins in them which causes neurological problems.
