In reply to Re: What are your side effects from Strattera?, posted by zuzu80 on October 5, 2004, at 7:11:37
Since I began the Stratterra (in addition to Buspar, Prozac and Provigil) I have been unable to get my breath after exertion. It doesn't bother me to jog or something else aerobic but if I strain like in lifting I cannot get my breath. I do not know if this is only heat related as Ihave not been through a winter with it. This is restrictive to me as I ride horses for many miles in a limited time frame and it has interfered. I only take 25mg as that is all I can tolerate with this side effect (I am guessing it is from the stratterra) but it has really helped with anxiety and depression and motivation. So I am hanging in there with it. It took a long long time to adjust to it. BTW, I have had an EEG and cardiac echo and the heart is fine. My BP is normal but pulse has elevated about 10 beats since adding the stratterra. If anyone else has this I would love to know as I think I am all alone in this particular boat!!
Thanks,
Donna
