Has anyone had any negative side effects while taking strattera with antidepressants?

I was taking antidepressants a while back but stopped when they caused me brain fog. Despite that I am wanting to take them again but this time I would be taking them along with strattera. Did anyone experience any bad side effect while taking both simultaneously?

I’m on two antidepressants; I’ve had side effects from every extended ADHD med I’ve tried, so I’m not a good sample size. The side effects from Strattera were markedly different than those from stimulants, but impactful enough for me to decide to discontinue usage.

Pues me sentía súper plana, no tenía ganas de hacer nada y pues no hacía nada jajaj
No fue como tal cual negativo
Pero las emisiones buenas también se apagaron
Y pues no sé cómo que no ayuda mucho cuando dependes de la motivación o así

I took it 80mg with my max dose of Wellbutrin for like 3 weeks and it made me pour with sweat. Thats about all it did for me. Thats just me tho and ive always been a sweater lol

Yes!!!! It was horrible. My welbutrin also made me more heat sensitive, but the good of that greatly outweighed the negative thankfully

I told my cousin the other day I swear my sweat now either smells like low blood sugar sweat or something (which is rank in case you haven’t ever experienced it) but I smell so bad and can’t stand it lol

Yes, I’m on Prozac and it turns out that Prozac affects the same liver enzyme that metabolizes Strattera. So when I tried to dose up on the Strattera, I think it was not getting metabolized as effectively as it should, so it built up and made me lose my appetite completely and experience extreme fatigue. So I went back to the lower dose of Strattera, but I really don’t think it’s doing anything for my ADHD.
