I was started on atomoxetine in February after 48 years of getting by, and it's been absolutely life changing - I'm finishing projects and clearing stuff off my desk that would in the past have been 90% complete with me having to be interrupted to clean up.

There's a shortage of atomoxetine, my pharmacist has ordered extra so I should be ok, and I have a stash of lower dosage capsules just in case.

The worry is that the side effects between 40mg and 60mg were awful, and I don't really want to go through that again.



I tried atomoxetine for awhile. I was on a fairly low dosage, somewhere between 10 and 25mg. It was a very weird experience tbh. I felt very muted, like someone took my personality and affect and replaced it with a greyed out version of me. It was so noticeable that my girlfriend noticed and asked if there was something wrong. Anyways, it sucks that getting ADHD drugs is hard these days. I've considered going back to them as stress at work ramps up, but I'm worried even if I do I won't be able to get any. Oh well.


Yeah ED on straterra is something else.


I did have ED for a while when I first started, that and the disconnected / painful orgasms. After 6 months though it's all back to normal and working better than it was tbh.


That and headaches after the deed (in case you got past the ED).


I take propranolol alongside atomoxetine as I get regular headaches, perhaps something to look into?
