You can, however afterwards you feel really down and depressed if you do not have ADHD and work out while taking it. I have taken it and not been prescribed and i had gym class, had these symptoms
I would consult your psychiatrist.
If you are not use to taking Strattera and especially if the drug is not prescribed for you, you will get high off of it. You should only take the drug under a doctor's direction.

Definately. When I was first put on Strattera, I noticed a huge difference in my energy level. I was fatigued and felt like I had no energy to do tough tasks. Don't worry though, after about a month, I quit experiencing this fatigue and was back to normal. I have been taking Strattera for 6 months now and for some time now have had no side effects from Strattera.
with strattera you should not take any adhd meds or abuse any medications because then it definitely will not work
There can be many different side effects that a 17 year old may experience when taking Strattera. Some of these are depression, suicidal thoughts, stomach upset, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
: You should not be experiencing these sorts of effects while taking Strattera. This is what is mentioned on the Black Box Warning for Strattera, including other changes in behavior such as irratibility and suicidal thoughts especially in children. But either way it is clear that you need to contact your doctor and you should dicontinue use of Strattera.
Answer: Strattera is not at all harmful at 100mg. Basically if you can handle or avoid the side effects the result of taking 100 mg would be increased alertness, and better attention span. It really helps you concentrate. However, Strattera has a black box warning about the potential of suicidal thoughts in children. So keep this in mind, and I would not recommend taking Strattera at all if you have any form of depression, anxiety, or any form of bipolar or psychosis. And you should stop taking Strattera immediately if you start to have thoughts of suicide or sudden changes in behavior such as agitation or irratibility. Ultimately you should talk to your doctor to determine if 100mg is necessary for your individual treatment. hope this helps***
A child who is on lithium needs to be monitored carefully before starting Strattera. This drug can trigger depression and my not be appropriate for someone who is taking a medication such as lithium.
Yes, that is a serious amount to be taking to start with. -40- is a lot to start with. I've been taking Strattera for a year now, and I'm up to 60mg, and my body still has trouble handling it. It makes me sick, and dizzy, even if I eat before, with, and after it.
