This would make one feel effects of lower levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine while the strattera is in the system. I think that was my problem and my natural reaction was to crave foods to increase serotonin levels in my brain. That's basically my conclusion.I read about this too at http://crazymeds.org but have not seen it in any other source and am dubious about this claim. If anyone can provide any evidence to support this claim I'll give you TIA.
