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.

When I was at the doctor he told me that I have anxiety and ADHD and he sead that I must go on Strattera it worked but it was to expensive to go on it for a year can Strattera be given as chronic?
Sure, most drugs can be prescribed for extended periods of time. Certainly antidepressants (Strattera is a failed antidepressant) are prescribed as such. No studies have examined the long-term effects of Strattera, and therefore it is not recommended that Strattera be used in the long-term. In fact, the Strattera drug information specifically states,"Strattera is not for long-term use." Be careful with drugs like Strattera (antidepressants in general): their specific effects on the brain and their long-term effects are not well-known. These drugs can permanently alter your brain chemistry and cause a variety of secondary effects (for which you'll be prescribed more medications). Of course, this is just my opinion, and it is based on anecdotal evidence. Be cautious.
