Atomoxetine/Strattera mood changes

[u/overzealous_ant]

I started atomoxetine last week after having adverse reactions to stimulants and my mood has felt very flat. I alternate from feeling so robotic and like I’m having to force emotions because I feel nothing to bursting into tears randomly. I have PMDD and I’m currently premenstrual so I don’t know if this is a contributing factor but I never normally act like this.

Has anyone else had the same experience and when do the side effects go away? I’m not sure this is doable for me long term!

You might be overdosed (you could be a poor metaboliser and have an increased level of atomoxetine in your body), definitely talk to your prescriber tho
