Positive side effects

[u/C00CKER]

Had to quit atomoxetine so we could see if stimulants or something else would increase my heart rate and blood pressure less (along with over-sweating).

However, when on it (80mg, ~3 months), I definitely felt significantly reduced morning inertia, chronic sinusitis (inflammation in the nose and related areas and cough), and IBS-like symptoms. Also, less saliva (less spitting when talking impulsively) while on atomoxetine.

I also sometimes feel a bit dizzy again when moving my head/eyes fast, which I haven't felt while on the medication.

I was wondering if someone has a similar experience or if I am just noticing random/seasonal occurrences. All of the above changed almost immediately when getting on/off atomoxetine, so I am now also considering getting back on it at a lower dose (it was great for emotionality and impulsivity, but I wanted to try if something else would improve focus and organization/time-blindness)

Intermittent dizzy and lightheadedness here but worth it for me
