Is it Strattera or is it me?


Recommended Posts

I have never taken any kind of "head meds" before, and decided to try Strattera to see if it would help me focus better. I took the first pill only three hours ago, and was stunned to find that sexual side effects are present immediately. I have never experienced impotence in my life.  ;)

Now, I'm thinking that either this has to do with my metabolism (but I usually tolerate medications well with no or only mild side effects), or someone over at Lilly is lying their ass off about the presence of sexual side effects with this drug. (They claim 7%)

I have no nausea, no headache, none of the other "most common" side effects. The impotence is there immediately. What the hell is that?

Anyway, unless I get some information that this is something that needs time for my body to adjust to, and that the impotence goes away after the drug builds up in the body, I'm not taking this stuff ever again.

I just started taking Strattera and have had the same immediate problem.  I've been taking it for five days, and my sex drive has been really on and off, as in, shutting off for no discernable reason... I've never had this issue either... so you're not alone, man.
