FYI FDA changes labeling Stratterra

* Atomoxetine therapy should not be used in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities or other serious heart conditions because of the potential increased vulnerability to its noradrenergic effects, leading to sudden death and other serious cardiovascular events. Use of atomoxetine at normal doses has also been linked to treatment-emergent psychotic/manic symptoms in pediatric patients with no prior history of such events.

Well, this an addition to the current labeling which includes about every adverse effect under the sun... just from my own brief time on it, I think it would have made me anxiously restless and irritable as well as sleepy....
