Strattera (atomoxetine) is primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is not specifically indicated for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). While some individuals may experience worsening of OCD symptoms when starting Strattera, this effect can vary from person to person. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional if you notice any changes in your OCD symptoms after starting the medication, as they can provide guidance and adjustments as needed.

Can a child develop OCD symptoms on Strattera such as hair pulling?
I don't believe that the Strattera causes OCD symptoms, and it's possible that the hair pulling is not OCD, but possibly a Tic Disorder. My son was diagnosed by a neurologist at five to have a tic disorder (at that time snorting) and ADHD. To treat the ADHD, the Doc prescribed meds like Ritalin and Adderal, and the tics got worse. They also evolved into new and more disturbing habits (such as bald spots from hair pulling.) The Strattera was the only medication that has not aggrivated the tics.another opinion: I tried Strattera for adult ADD. At a tiny dose of 10 mg, it made me depressed and very OCD-like, at least mentally (obsess on a single thought for hours). I've seen other people on other sites claiming the same thing. So I do think it can cause or exacerbate OCD-like symptons. Everyone reacts differently to these things.

Does Strattera help with OCD symptoms?
I'm not sure, but I've used Strattera for some months. I've OCD myself, and Strattera hasn't helped me with this problem. But neither have medications like Lexapro, Efexor or Zoloft. The only stuff I find helpful is bezos like Aprazolam or Diazepam. They just make me a little less conserned about things that i usely worry about. But in the end of the day, they're quite addictive. So you should be careful using them Sorry for my bed English.

Can using marijuana once while on daily medication for OCD and ADD have bad results?
No not really, but look up some of the negative effects of marijuana and then think about it for a while. If you are OCD it could possibly make it worse, it could also calm you down a bit. One time isn't going to make much of a difference, but habitual use will really take an effect and make it hard for doctors to medicate you correctly because doctors won't know if they are medicating your OCD and ADD symptoms or your substance abuse symptoms. Hope this helps

How do SSRIs for anxiety increasing serotonin and Strattera for ADHD increasing norepinephrine and anti-psychotics like Respirdal for OCD blocking serotonin and dopamine not counteract each other?
While these medications target different neurotransmitters, they can still work synergistically to address different aspects of a person's symptoms. For example, SSRIs can help with anxiety by increasing serotonin levels, while Strattera can improve ADHD symptoms by increasing norepinephrine levels. Adding an antipsychotic like Risperdal may help manage OCD symptoms by blocking certain receptors, without necessarily counteracting the effects of the other medications. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan.
