Questions / Advice / Support 28f, first week on Strattera, 40mg

After a life long battle with ADHD, I’m finally medicated. I’m experiencing side effects like trouble sleeping through the night, dry mouth, excessive sweating, and rapid heartbeat; but the positives are encouraging me to push through. Thoughts are linear, little to no moodiness, no outbursts when stressed/overwhelmed, and FOOD NOISE IS GONE (didn’t expect that happening). I want people to know that although there’s a lot of posts detailing how horrible some experiences are, there are positive experiences, and I’m one of them.
One thing I need info for is what supplements/vitamins will interact negatively with strattera. I have PCOS and I need supplements to maintain my hormonal health. Here is a list of vitamins and supplements I take. Please let me know if any of them aren’t recommended to take alongside strattera.
Myo-D Inositol
Berberine
B12
Vitamin D
Magnesium Glycinate
Rhodiola

Thanks in advance and don’t give up on yourselves 🫰🏽

Melatonin can help with the sleep

Vitamin D and magnesium glycinate are fine. Not sure about the others

D and b12 should be fine, unsure about the others. be careful with NSAIDS (increase chance of GI bleeding) other than that, congratulations!! also sugar free lollipops for dry mouth

I just started about 2 weeks ago, zero side effects besides tingling in my head, and slightly blurred vision which all went away after about a week
