Does Straterra cause increased sensitivity to the sun?

The drug, Straterra does not cause an increase in the sensitivity to the sun. If anything , it seems to helps one tolerate the sun even more. I take 120mgs of this drug daqily and also ride my bike aqn average of two to three hours in the very intense Florida sun and have noticed that I am NOT as susceptible to sunburning as once I formerly was. During the past week, for example, after greater than fifteen hours of direst sun exposure there is reddish-tannishness to my skin, not burned but completely normal with no sunblockage agent usage at all.

Has Strattera been approved for use in the military?

My boyfriend is active Navy, mid-rank sailor. A (stupid) Navy doctor prescribed it for him. He was in the middle of a Billet shift anyway, and they claimed that he was being shifted because of the newly diagnosed ADD and Straterra. That wasn't the case, but that's beside the point. Anyway, the Navy does accept Straterra, however, a word of caution. It could change his job and also the duties he is approved to perform. Also, I would STRONGLY encourage you to consider a different drug. Straterra has horrible sexual side effects for some men. For us, it has been devistating. Please feel free to use my e-mail for more direct/detailed questioning. :) Good luck! ~Lisa
