| Add Strattera review After 10 weeks on the drug, starting with 40mg and upping the dose due to not feeling that the drug was working-to 80mg. Up until this dose increase, the side effects were: mild dry mouth,dark urine, low appatite, painful starting of urine flow, swollen prostate, with resultant low flow, feeling like needing to pee all the time, mild erection problems overcome by Cialis, and a weird time delay bet ... No side effects really. I get great grades in school since I started taking Strattera. I'm a teenage girl and I take this drug it's very effective. If I don't take medication with food I do vomit and feel very ill but right after vomiting all discomfort is gone. I always feel tired around the afternoon so after its been in my system for 6 hours. Other than that its very helpful and I'm losing weight on it so that's great for me! This drug turned my life around. I was diagnosed later in life with ADD.

Now I can work with a good level of concentration. I thought vyvanse was great, but I noticed hives on my hands initially and disregarded the reaction. It wasn't until I had hives (large) all over my face, severe dry eye, for a month, I realized I was having a reaction to the drug. My own physician did not relate the hives to the drug. I had to figure it out myself after spending hundreds of dollars on copays to the eye doctor and revisits to m ... I have been taking this drug for a couple of weeks. At first, the side effects and positive effects are immense. My brain was able to pick up anything at anytime, I never had this ability before. Whenever I walk to school, I would notice the flowers, sidewalk, other people, rather than just be hidden in my own cloud. School definately has become easier. I now focus in class, get things that need t ... My grandson takes this medication for ADHD. They up the doseage, ever since then he has uncontrolable head movement. He jerks his head forward. Is this a system of the meds? He has never done this before. | |||
