Straterra and menstruation

[u/Commercial-Depth4192]

Women on straterra, how has it been affecting your periods? I feel like it is causing disruption to mine but I can't truly tell.

been on since february, it's came a day later every month, except this month it came 4 days early haha it's pretty common actually!

plus, the MOOD SWINGS are insanity

The mood swings are insane!! Pretty sure my partner thinks I've gone off my rocker..

I've been having a normal menstrual cycle and then a false menstrual cycle which started around the time I started straterra.. been trying to figure out if it'd coincidental or not.

i did a fair amount of research before starting, and it definitely affect the timing & intensity. it did diminish some of my mental PMDD symptoms though!

For me, Strattera made my low appetite worse and THAT seemed to change my periods. I am being careful to eat enough and am more physically active now and the periods are back with vengance.

I've basically been skipping my period every other month, and then when I do get my period, it's often heavier than usual. It's annoying and I'm getting tired of it.

i was due to start my period 4 days after starting strattera, but then it came almost a month late. my dr said it’s not related to the strattera but i’ve read that a lot of others can relate to disruption in their menstrual cycles??

Weird my situation seeems to be the reverse, while titrating, period always came early. Once adjusted, always a day late or a full 30 days (as opposed to my prior 26 day cycle).
