When I first started Strattera (many YEARS ago)--my appetite took a nose-dive--and weight just melted off of me. (I liked that!). I lost over 15 pounds without changing anything else (such as activity level or other medications). However, after being on Straterra for three years---that nice side effect wore off....and the appetite came back--and so did the 15 pounds....I THINK that it effects each person differently.
Strattera (atomoxetine) is primarily prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is not primarily known as an appetite suppressant. Some individuals may experience decreased appetite as a side effect, but this can vary from person to person. If you have concerns about appetite changes while taking Strattera, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional.
Strattera is usually taken for ADD. It can affect appetite, therefore making u lose weight.
Strattera's most common side effects are stomach upset (including nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia or indigestion, appetite decrease, fatigue, and mood swings).
Yes, appetite increase while you are pregnant
Mixing Lexapro and Strattera can cause a few side effects. The Lexapro can cause the Strattera to build up in the blood more. This causes dry mouth, sleep problems, dizziness, loss of appetite and heart palpitations.
hi heather, I'm not sure what you mean? Strattera has very little effect on the appetite. So if you want to gain weight just eat lots of fattening foods. That will do it.
The appetite suppression effects of Strattera (atomoxetine) can vary among individuals but typically last for several hours after taking the medication. Most patients may experience reduced appetite during the early weeks of treatment, with effects generally peaking around 1 to 4 hours post-dose. Over time, some individuals may find that appetite returns to normal as their body adjusts to the medication. It's important to monitor any significant changes in appetite and discuss them with a healthcare provider.
although it is illegal, the use of marijuana will increase appetite
no
I am both a recovering alcoholic and bulimic. I have absolutely no appetite on strattera, so it should not trigger any bulimic behavior. I have just over a year sober and have had no desire to drink since taking the medication. So for me, strattera has not had any negative effect on either affliction. Good luck!
yes it contains lysin which is appetite stimulant so ultimately it will increase your appetite and weight
Yes, Xanax is known to stimulate the appetite. It is a benzodiazepine and most of them do.
