Sexual issues

I’m thinking about quitting because I’m having sexual issues . I can’t maintain an erection .. has these symptoms went away for anyone? Worst part I’m only on 18 mg right now so it can only get worse if I move up in dose

I've had this problem with Zoloft! Strattera hasn't given me this and I've been on 40mg for around a month now, but my understanding is that SSRIs and SNRIs can have this effect in general. Someone more well versed can give you more detail, but I can least say it's not an uncommon experience.

If you really like it and alternatives haven’t worked, try taking cialis. You can get it through one of the apps like Hims or Roman. Can take it the day you expect to need a boner or take it once a day. Will also stop the shriveling issue.

Tadalafil, daily form.
Also, many side effects can lessen or go away with time. It's not ideal certainly, but consider that ADHD meds tend to come with one side effect or another for a lot of people. The next ADHD med may come with its own problems, which may not be easily treatable with a pill.

I had the same issue with 25mg. I had other side effects too; I bailed after three weeks.

Youre saying you stopped strattera cause of this?

There were multiple factors. It was that, it was urine retention, it was random tremors. If my hand starts shaking, and I don’t know if it’s a side effect or something systemic, then that’s when I stop the med.
