> How does the feeling of taking Straterra differ from taking Wellbutrin? Also is any one experiencing sexual side effects or an increased appetite, and/or weight gain? Does it increase, lower, or have no effect on anxiety?
I have never tried Wellbutrin so I can't respond to that one. As far as sexual side effects, I have not experienced any but this could be due to the low dose I am on. Initially, I noticed a decrease in my appetite but after about three weeks, my appetite has returned to normal....no weight gain though. The anxiety question is difficult to answer. The Strattera seems to energize and hype me up so I don't know if it is masking the anxiety or what. There are times where I have felt a tad on edge and needed to take 1 mg of ativan to calm me down, but the anxiety pales in comparison to when I was not on Strattera. Lately, I have been having difficulty falling asleep and will talk to my pdoc tomorrow about tweeking my meds.
