> I did want to post a caution, which may not be needed as I'm hoping your doc discussed this with you already.
I guess this is what I was most worried about, I kept reading that about Prozac, but my doc didn't discuss anything like that with me. And I'm on a fairly high dosage at 80mg a day. I wouldn't be as concerned except that I only spoke with the nurse practitioner about it. I do have to go back next week though, so I will ask about it then. Do you know what the consequences would be of an increase the action of the atomoxetine in my blood?
> Possibly, the depression continued to be kept at bay due to the huge help w/ADD stuff from the Strat, which in turn meant I felt so much less lost and overwhelmed in the psycho-social realm, I didn't become depressed... the undiagnosed, untreated ADD likely led to the depression.That's awesome (not to mention fascinating)! I can only hope for such a great outcome.
> I have hypertension as well, as was on a beta blocker at the time, and still am, at twice the dose it was in 2004, with no problems. (I know Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor - I tried it once - cough, cough, cough - day and night = discontinue) I'd watch the BP a little closer than usual, though, as Strattera has been known to elevate BP readings very slightly in some people. But as we all know, YMMV.
Yes, I read that as well and will certainly keep an eye on it. That's why I stopped taking the Sudafed (as much as it pains me with my allergies!).
> I so hope this helps you, TC....I am one of the blessed ones who had an immediate response, which I know is rare.
It definitely helps!
>Hope you can give it at least 4 weeks, barring intolerable S/Es
I hope that too. Really the most intolerable side effect of any med to me is nausea, so hopefully that will not come back.
Thanks 10derheart!
