My 6 yr. old complains of a cough every morning. Didn't think it had anything to do with Strattera because he has Allergies, but I'm not sure now. I have had a bit of a cough since taking this med. I believe I read in the drug literature that persistant cough can be a side effect.

How does Cough syrup work?

Most over-the-counter cough syrups work two-fold. First, they are a thick syrup that helps to coat the throat and ease the itching and burning. Second, they contain a chemical called "Dextromethorphan", which has a dissociative effect. Because the mind is distanced from the body, the cough-threshold is raised. Because of this effect, the chemical is abused by many recreational drug users. This is why many cough syrups will have a very bitter taste, or have a side-effect of nausea. This is to prevent over-use of the product.

Is severe diarrhea a side effect of Straterra?

I don't have an answer.Just wanted to let you know that my son has been on straterra for about 6weeks now and in the last 3 days has developed severe diarrhea with abdominal pain and cramps. My 8 year old son has been on Straterra for about 4 months. He had no side effects initially, but over the last two months he's had stomach pains, become pasty white and weak (gets better when he eats), and most recently has had diarrhea for 6 out of the last 10days. Tomorrow we see the Dr. If I learn anything I'll post it, but was glad to read the other posts so I could show them to her to show her I'm not the only mom wondering the same thing? Today is my 2nd day of Straterra and only the intro dose of 25 mg each. I am 33 female. Today, I became very nauseated and in the evening, had bad diarrhea and some vomiting. my son is 9 and he has been on straterra now for about 9 months he also complains of severe abdominal pain. I believe that this is an unfortunate side effect for most that are taking this medication.I think it is wise for those who are on this med to schedule a liver panel with the new findings on this medication.
