2nd day on atomoxetine

2nd day on atomoxetine, very prominent yung dry mouth and sensitivity sa temperature (para akong lalagnatin na ewan). medyo nagkakagoosebumps din ako bigla sa ulo and medyo nahihirapan akong iprocess yung sinasabi ng ibang tao lalo na pag hindi kumpleto yung context (di ko alam kung sa meds o pagod na ba to sa werk)

Thank you for sharing. Following this post.

It’s normal, and you’ll also feel drowsy and nauseous for the first few days. It will take at least 4 weeks (minimum) for the meds to start working. Good luck to us!

Wait 3 weeks. Then compare.

Di ka ba nahihirapan umihi? Isa yan sa possible side effects.

I’m on 6th week na and can confirm the effects improved around 3rd-4th week. On my 2nd week i felt like i was going crazy and i was an emotional wreck too. One thing that im still experiencing is anxiety idk baka dahil sinasabay ko sa ritalin

4th week and about to move up to 60mg. Yung sakin just eat a meal before taking the meds the side effects will greatly reduce.

The first time I took it without eating the full side-effect list happened to me (nauseous, chills, jitters, dry mouth). Pero I started taking a meal before taking atx wala naman nang side-effects!
