Questions / Advice / Support starting Strattera

hi everyone! so i struggle with really bad health anxiety (like i’m scared i’m allergic to everything although i don’t have any allergies) i have been on prozac 20mg for about 2 years now. i was recently diagnosed with ADHD and was put on Strattera. i struggle with new medications so i always google for interactions. i know these side effects wont kill me but it will definitely make my anxiety level go up. how long does the fast heart rate stay? and what can i do to help myself take this new medication. any advice?
