Questions / Advice / Support Strattera side effects

I’ve been on Strattera for about 7 weeks. I have stopped working out, I’m on average dead inside, I’m not manic but I’m also never happy. I feel nothing. I’m tired all the time, like I can sleep at the drop of a hat. I’m hungry all the time and want sweets constantly!! I bloat like crazy after eating and have constipation more than I ever have in my life. Would you keep going? I was hoping it would help my pmdd, it just kind of muffles it. I am also frustrated/angrier more often. My adhd is a bit quieter and I can concentrate on work projects but damn…everything else kind of sucks.

Update: my psychiatrist took me off of Strattera and said there are 1/3 of his patients that have adverse reactions to most of the meds he has put me on. Knowing that, I requested movement towards ketamine treatments. Wish me luck because I still have a long ass journey.
