There should be a warning on the Strattera packaging saying to use caution in drinking caffeinated beverages.
The first time I drank coffee after taking Strattrea I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. My heart raced and I felt out of breath. The experience taught me to be VERY cautious in taking the Strat with caffeine. I've gotten to the point 5 mos. later where I can have a pot or two in the morning, and I use half-caffeinated coffee or add a dash of caffeinated to my afternoon decaf if I feel I need the late-afternoon lift.
On the plus side I no longer need eight cups a day to feel human.
