I Was sleeping everyday on my lunch hour while taking Strattera, It made me feel dopey but it did help a little with concentration issues strangely enough. Just switched to metatdate...hope it works better. N
One of the side effects of Strattera is fatigue, but this is not considered a permanent side effect and should resolve itself in two or three weeks as your body becomes accustomed to the drug. When you increase your dose or go off Strattera for a day or more, the fatigue may kick back in as your body re-adjusts, but for most users, this side-effect eventually goes away. Every person is different, though, and if you are taking other drugs, there could be interactions with them that will cause unexpected side effects.

Can Strattera make Hepatitis appear in boys?
Yes, in fact, in 2004 the FDA required Lilly to put a warning on Strattera that it could cause hepatitis. This is a very uncommon side effect. The hepatitis typically goes away when the drug is stopped.
How long after stopping Strattera does the testicular pain go away?
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.
What foods cause sleepiness?
For me, when I eat a smoked meat sandwich or hot dog, I am within hours, overcome with extreme sleepiness, to the point where I MUST lay down and go into a deep sleep. Then I'm left with a sluggish tired feeling. I am trying to find out the whys of this, as it affects me so profoundly. Simple answer is stay away from these foods but WHY does this happen? can anyone help answer this and should I further have testing done?
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*************

If your son seems to get more hyper on Adderall and Strattera and goes crazy screaming hitting and crying will this go away?
I am not a physician and cannot say for sure if it will "go away", but I can tell you that Strattera can cause extreme agitation and volatilty due to the fact that it is a adrenaline re-uptake inhibitor, which means it keeps adrenaline running through your body as oppossed to being processed by the body. Adrenaline is a natural chemical our bodies produce that helps us react in a stressful/fearful situation. I would recommend that you call your doctor for a re-evaluation of your child. There are many more medications that can be used to treat ADD/ADHD with fewer/milder side effects.
