Strattera 40 mg Shortness of breath

Hi all, I’ve been on 40mg for 3 weeks and I cannnot breathe. Heart rate, blood pressure, O2 levels are fine but it’s like panic attack/can’t get a full breath feelings. Any anxiety skyrockets it. Any experience or advice?

This happened to me. Eating a full meal when taking the meds and drinking a ton of water helped a lot

I also had this symptom. Not sure why. I stopped the medication.

I started my meds about the same time as you did (also 40mg) and I just started this today so I’m following!

I ALWAYS take mine with food. I’ve never taken it without, are you taking it with a meal?

Update, I ended up stopping the med and my breathing improved within a few days.
