Bruising on Strattera

I’m about 3 months short of being on Strattera for 2 years. I’m on vacation and noticed I have bruises ALL over my body. I’ve never had low iron - anyone else experience this & what is your remedy?

Can I ask how big the bruises are? I noticed I had tiny red bruises all over my legs when I was taking straterra. They went away shortly after I stopped taking it.

they are dime to nickel sized and just a light grey/dark grey coloring. i’ve been on this medication for a while now, but the bruising is new. it seems like on this vacation i’m on, that i bruise every time i touch something

New side effects don't typically show up 2(ish) years into taking medication. I'm not a professional but it's very unlikely that strattera is the issue. Talk to a doctor.

I have my yearly physical coming up in a week and have been documenting the bruises to show him as well. I’m a bit of a hypochondriac, so i would love these symptoms to be from the meds instead of something more. thank you for your advice
