> Hi Greg:
What you are experiencing is the same that I did last May. It took about 5-6 weeks for the obnoxious side effects to disappear and for me to have the full benefits of the medication. It was a tough road in the beginning, but the benefits have been unbelievable. I am much more functional than I have ever been. So be patient. Although, if the sexual side effects do not disappear after a reasonable period of time, you may have to try another ADHD option. My husband tried the Strattera and it made it difficult for him to achieve an erection and hold it. The doctor then switched him to a slow release Ritalin. As for me, I take my 80 mgs. in the evening. I have noticed that if I take my medication a little bit later and have sex around 10 p.m. then all of my parts work right, but if we wait until it's midnight or later to have sex then my orgasms are definitely diminished because the Strattera has had plenty of time to get into my system.
Good luck,
Lasagna
Hi-

> I have just recently been diagnosed with ADHD, and was prescribed strattera. Within the first 48 hours ive noticed a number of side effects...and i am not sure whether or not to be concerned. Some of these include fatigue, fogginess, upset stomach, and some sexual side effects that i noticed after the first 24 hours that involve inability to achieve orgasm, and extreme sweating. Is this normal?
