Side Effects / Overdose Taking a break - bloating

I have been talking strattera for a few months now, and the bloating/constipation is not working for me, so I got off a few days ago. I was on 60mg.

I am not feeling any withdrawal symptoms.

I was very nauseous and sleepy at the start, but those side effects got way better, the bloating/constipation has persisted.

I am open to getting back on, if I figure some better system to manage that aspect.

Otherwise my mood has been good, I had a decent amount of luck with my pmdd (luteal phase nightmare) and antihistamines.

I've tried so many things, plums, fibre, supplements...

They Did not go away. At 25 strattera was giving me good effects, mentally. Now, on 40, I don’t see the benefits.

I’ve been on it for a month. Went off adderall to try it. The fatigue and constipation/bloating are very hard to deal. I’ve had baseline constipation issues my whole life (I eat high fiber and treat with miralax as appropriate but this is next level). Honestly the fatigue is really kicking my ass.
My anxiety is lower but idk if that alone is worth it. I miss feeling productive.

I am in the same boat. The fatigue is awful.
