I have been taking Strattera for over a month now. I take 80 mgs. at bedtime. At first the appetite control was more intense and I dropped down to 155 lbs after years of trying to do so on mere excercise and healthier eating (but to no avail). I attribute this to the nausea that I felt in the beginning. After about 3 weeks on the medication I noticed my appetite increased a bit and then I put back on a few pounds. Although, I find that the medication still continues to control my appetite. If I over eat at all, then I am so uncomfortable and feel sick. The nausea seems to be decreasing with time, something I was most concerned about because I would feel it on and off all day long at first. Now I seem to be stabilizing in that department, thank heaven!
The main side effect that I still continue to struggle with is the hot flashes and sweating that started when I began the medication.
