What are the side effects after going off of Strattera?
My 11 year old daughter had been taking Strattera for a little
more than 3 years. About 5 weeks ago she decided on her own,
without discussing it with her father and I, to stop cold turkey
taking her meds. She was taking 60mg of Strattera and a melatonin
every night before bed. She was taking it at night because of the
stomach aches. they were just to much to handle during the morning
at school. After a few weeks of not taking the meds she confided in
my Mother that she was not taking the Strattera anymore. I couldn't
really tell any major differences. The only big difference was her
insatiable appetite In the about 5 or 6 weeks she has been off the
Strattera(taking it for ADHD) she has gained 10lbs. She says she is
now sleeping through the night. Falling asleep quite easily too. It
used to take her more than an hour even with the Melatonin.
