Of the side effects listed for Strattera on Crazymeds.org, I will highlight the ones I had:
Strattera's Typical Side Effects: The usual for NRIs - headache, dry mouth, urinary hesitance [bad], constipation [very bad], early awakening [very bad].
Plus, "fatigue and tiredness instead of increased energy and motivation," a general "blah" feeling or a kind of cloudy head, and sexual dysfunction - different and worse than the typical side effects from fluoxetine. I basically had more interest but less ability.
Oh yeah, plus very quick weight gain: talking 10 lbs in the first month, certainly related to the constipation, but I also seemed to retain a lot of water.
