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.

I am both a recovering alcoholic and bulimic. I have absolutely no appetite on strattera, so it should not trigger any bulimic behavior.
