ADHD and Tourette's syndrome are closely related; some people have both of these together. When a physician is initially screening someone for ADHD, he or she should ask about vocal tics to see if the patient also may have Tourette's. Strattera (or any of the other ADHD medications) can sometimes bring out these behaviors in people (not cause them--just "unmask" them). If this is happening to you, speak with your physician.
Hope this helps!

Does Strattera cause seizures?
Strattera (atomoxetine) is not commonly associated with causing seizures. However, in rare cases, it may lower the seizure threshold, particularly in individuals with a history of seizures or certain medical conditions. It's important for anyone taking Strattera to discuss their medical history with their healthcare provider to assess any potential risks. If a patient experiences seizures while on Strattera, they should seek immediate medical attention.

Does anyone have info on Strattera causing psychosis?
I experienced what I believe was psychosis while driving. I had been taking straterra for 1 week when this occurred. I felt detached from reality, like I was seeing the world through the eyes of another person. I began having serious thoughts of suicide and went into what I believe was a full fledged panic attack. I pulled over and asked my wife to drive and I have since decided to not take strattera anymore or ever again. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.

Does Strattera slow you down while adjusting or does it mean that it just is not for the patient taking it?
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.
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.
