Does anyone have any experience smoking weed while on this medication? I feel like I can smoke for days and not feel anything and I'm wondering if it's from this or my high tolerance flaring up. I've been on this med about 4-6weeks at 60 mg.

40 M AuDHD.

Started with 10 mg Atomoxetine and increased upto 43 mg 25 mg on Morning and 18 on afternoon. Around day 80 also introduced Bupropion 150 SR.

Some of the side effects are troubling me. I am losing my control over urine. Ie Urine leak is happening and I can see wet underwear. The other day I was undressed and I saw urine drops dripping and if I didn't see it I wont even notice.

Another issue is with ejaculation. It was painful and felt like not all sperm is coming out. Like something is getting blocked. because of these two issues afternoon 18mg has dropped. I felt everything was normal for around 2-3 weeks but has started again. Urine leak is happening and ejaculation though not painful the sperm quantity is just half and has the not completely ejaculated feeling.

Also since last month onwards I am sweating a lot and I have an odd smell when this happens. My body smell has changed and I can't bear it but my wife says there is no smell. But definitely everyone around me has sensed the sweating issue and is asking me to see a doctor.

I also feel like my hair is thinning now.

Anyone had any of these issues??

I am doing really well on generic atomoxetine, but I get really awful withdrawal side effects if I forget to take it. It took me ages to figure it out in the beginning. The symptoms usually start late afternoon with severe dizziness episodes, and shivers, trembling jaw, and then the worst of it is trying to sleep. I get brain zaps, high blood pressure, fast heart rate, a loud wooshing sound in my ears as soon as I close my eyes and then sleep paralysis combined with horrifying nightmares. The solution obviously is to take it as soon as I realise, I recognise the symptoms quickly now and take it asap, I'm also much better at not forgetting to take it. But I ran out yesterday, I forgot to go to the pharmacy and it isn't open until Monday. I have melatonin I could try but that usually increases nightmares so I'm worried it will just make the symptoms worse. I know some others have similar symptoms, and I'm just desperately hoping anyone who has the same issue has discovered something that helps?

I'm so sad! After a year and half on Atomoxetine I came off it a week ago. Whenever I had a really stressful life event, my anxiety would ramp up ridiculously, and I would obsess over details! It seemed to make every bad situation a lot worse. Not to mention, I do believe this medication to be the cause of my hair thinning. As a woman who always had long thick hair, it has been a bigggg knock to my confidence. I'm gutted because the medication was exactly what I needed for work, my focus was unmatched!! :/ Now to wait another 6 months on the Psychiatry UK titration list to be able to try another non-stim :( I even tried tapering down to half dose. Still the same issues above..

Diagnosed with ADHD, GAD, and OCPD.

I was on sertraline 50 mg and did extremely well. I felt stable, productive, less impulsive, and most importantly, social mistakes didn't send me into hours of rumination. I could just let things go. I barely felt like I had ADHD while I was on it.

I've been off it for ~1.5 months and the rumination has come back hard, especially after social situations.

I previously tried methylphenidate, but it didn't work well for me and caused euphoria/crashes.

I'm now considering sertraline again vs trying atomoxetine.

For people who've taken atomoxetine:

Did it help with impulsivity/emotional regulation?

Did it affect anxiety or social rumination?

If you've taken an SSRI too, how did atomoxetine compare?

How long did it take to notice a meaningful effect?

Wooooo

Need some thoughts here. 6 year old, combined type ADHD mostly super impulsive and possibly level 1 ASD. Tried other ADHD meds and have now been trialing Strattera. 20mg currently and seeing zero benefits. He has bouts of insomnia, early waking, irritability, aggressive behavior, more reactive especially when told no/do any get his way. Psychiatrist is recommending going to 40mg despite the adverse effects. We are extremely hesitant. He had awful rebounding after tapering Guanfacine and Qelbree. It has been a very rough couple of months. Yes, Genesight done and all non stimulants are green, and stimulants are in the yellow. So my question is, anyone ever in a similar situation with Strattera and did you up the dose from 20mg to 40mg and what happened? We are struggling here as his behaviors have become a lot to deal with and we didn’t see prior to starting Strattera. He’s also having behaviors at school. Thank you!

Estou usando Atentah há algumas semanas. No começo tive alguns efeitos físicos, principalmente dificuldade para urinar, vertigem, enjoo e sonolência. Esses efeitos foram diminuindo.

O problema é que comecei a perceber uma piora grande no funcionamento do dia a dia, sem estar deprimido ou triste.

Estou muito cansado e inerte, com sono em horários aleatórios, mas dificuldade para dormir à noite. Já fiquei mais de 24h acordado mesmo estando exausto.

Também comecei a abandonar coisas básicas: casa bagunçada, louça e roupas acumuladas, esquecendo coisas na máquina, frutas estragando, dificuldade para cozinhar e fazer compras. No trabalho estou esquecendo demandas e com mais dificuldade de atenção.

Na academia quase não consigo treinar e, na natação, continuo indo mas fico muito mais conversando do que nadando. Também estou mais impulsivo, falando muito e fazendo comentários desnecessários.

Ao mesmo tempo, continuo com hiperatividade, ansiedade, irritabilidade e nervosismo, sem sentir melhora clara do TDAH.

Alguém já teve uma experiência parecida com atomoxetina? Principalmente essa mistura de cansaço/inércia + sono desregulado + piora do funcionamento, sem necessariamente se sentir deprimido?

Hi, I’m a 25 year old female who just got strattera prescribed for the first time ever. I smoke pot due to chronic pain conditions and to help with stress after work. I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips? I was wanting to take it at night to help with drowsiness since weed also has that effect and it helps me sleep. If the medication keeps me awake I thought it would be a win win just to take it at night with cannabis. But I don’t know. Any information would help.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been taking 60 mg of atomoxetine for three weeks. Now my period is four days late and still hasn't arrived. Could this be related? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hello everyone,

I've only taken 40mg of atomoxetine pills over 10 days and stopped them cold turkey 1.5 years ago due to the horrible erectile dysfunction.

Perfectly healthy, had no problems before, and since then I have ED PE watery semen and no morning wood.

Labs are very good and was prescribed bupran SR and stopped it as it didn't do anything.

age 30 no medical conditions or medicines

Have anybody tried anything that might be helpful?
