In reply to What are your side effects from Strattera?, posted by PhoenixGirl on October 4, 2004, at 17:20:13
I have been anywhere from 40mg a day to 80mg a day with Strattera. I notice that I have had a lot of chest tightness, as well as been battleing upper back and neck tension which creates headaches.
I have a generalized anxiety disorder, and also use Klonopin. My Klonopin dosage went up a couple milligrams after starting the Strattera. I have used Strattera for several weeks now, and these last few days I have been debateing whether to stay on the Strattera, or try Nortriptyline again.
I like the Strattera, but nothing seems to be able to combat the chest tightness. Only thing that works is too take more Klonopin or a muscle relaxer, but that is not a road I wish to go down either.
I just plain don't know what the Strattera is doing to me to be causing the chest tightness, and I ponder if the Strattera is also a culprit of my upper back and neck tension.

Cmatt
