> It seems that alot of the problems down there are caused by its tendency to swell the prostate up; the prostate has loads of NE receptors apparently. Has anyone ever tried to take Saw Palmetto to fix this? I read before that it is nearly as effective as the leading prescription (Flomax), and one of the side effects of Flomax is priapism. I don't want that, but anything that has something to do with an erection as a side effect would be a great benifit to anyone on Strattera.
I don't know nothing about using Saw Palmetto to counteract Strattera's side-effects but I took Saw Palmetto alone for my prostatis and it gave me impotence. I have read that is a well known side effect of it. Where have you read about the connection between NE-reuptake and prostate problems ? I'm asking because I developed a prostatis after a short trial of Wellbutrin six months ago and since then I have always wondered if there was a connection. Thanks in advance
