Testicular pain is a very rare (and mostly undocumented) side effect of Strattera. If you have testicular pain it could be another medical problem such as an STD or epydidymitis or if it is the left testicle and very painful it could be what is called a testicular torsion. However, myself and others have experienced testicular pain from taking Strattera that can range from mild to extreme. No doctor will believe you, but stopping the Strattera should take care of the pain in a few days. If it doesn't, seek a medical professional's opinion.
EDIT: I don't think the person who wrote the answer above knows very much about strattera. Testicular pain is not an uncommon side effect of the medication. I have heard that side effects should subside within a weak, but that is not from experience and only from a number of anecdotal reports. In fact, some people have mentioned bad withdrawal symptoms lasting weeks but most people don't seem to have this problem.

When I was at the doctor he told me that I have anxiety and ADHD and he sead that I must go on Strattera it worked but it was to expensive to go on it for a year can Strattera be given as chronic?
Sure, most drugs can be prescribed for extended periods of time. Certainly antidepressants (Strattera is a failed antidepressant) are prescribed as such. No studies have examined the long-term effects of Strattera, and therefore it is not recommended that Strattera be used in the long-term. In fact, the Strattera drug information specifically states,"Strattera is not for long-term use." Be careful with drugs like Strattera (antidepressants in general): their specific effects on the brain and their long-term effects are not well-known. These drugs can permanently alter your brain chemistry and cause a variety of secondary effects (for which you'll be prescribed more medications). Of course, this is just my opinion, and it is based on anecdotal evidence. Be cautious.
What is the best way to wean off of Strattera?
If you have the capsule form you can cut it in half and take that, slowly come off of it because coming off of it all at once can cause health effects/withdrawals.I have not come off of Strattera and have no intention to, as it is working wonderfully for me, but I would like to say that since Strattera is not a stimulant, the side effects of stopping the medication should be minimal and there should be no withdrawal, as Strattera is not addictive.I have read reports of people stopping Strattera suddenly due to being unable to get the drug due to insurance or money, or to give themselves a creativity boost, or they simply didn't want to take a medication anymore and having no problems coming off of it.As for cutting the capsule in half, please don't do that. From the packaging:Avoid touching a broken STRATTERA capsule. Wash hands and surfaces that touched an open STRATTERA capsule. If any of the powder gets in you or your child's eyes, rinse them with water right away and call your doctor.
How long does it take Strattera to get out of the system?
Strattera (atomoxetine) has a half-life of three to four days. This means it has a steady state of about 15 days. This is about normal for most drugs. As far as how long it treats ADD/ADHD symptoms, it seems to last about six hours. Strattera affects hyperactivity and impulse control by reining it in by treating chemicals in the brain and nerves that cause those conditions.

Do the side effects of Strattera go away over time or will whatever side effects that are present after 3 weeks be permanent as long as the drug is taken?
: Depending on the side effects you are experiencing from Strattera, some may reoccur each time you take the drug, while other may subside with time. I took Strattera for 6 weeks, and my heartburn did not go away so I stopped taking it. Strattera seems like one of those drugs where the side effects actually do occur and some are more extreme than the others. Im going to say that for the most part the side effects will most likely not go away. But for example if you get headaches, you could take some kind of aspirin, or Tylenol. (if your doctor approves) or maybe you just get used to it and it doesnt bother you, but from what I've seen the side effects are reoccuring and vicious. hope this helps*************

Does it cost extra to have Strattera compounded into a liquid and is that covered by insurance?
It usually does cost a little extra to have Strattera compounded into a liquid, but as long as you have prescription insurance, compounding is often covered. As a pharmacist, I compound strattera into a liquid formulation at a relatively low cost and submit the claim to the patient's insurance to give the patient the maximum cost-effectiveness.
