No. Strattera out of the capsule is an irritant. It stings. Look at this site - peanut butter may be enough of a coating to keep it from irritating the mouth and throat.

From RxList.com's article on Strattera: == No fatal overdoses occurred in clinical trials. There is limited clinical trial experience with STRATTERA overdose. During postmarketing, there have been fatalities reported involving a mixed ingestion overdose of STRATTERA and at least one other drug. There have been no reports of death involving overdose of STRATTERA alone, including intentional overdoses at amounts up to 1400 mg. In some cases of overdose involving STRATTERA, seizures have been reported. The most commonly reported symptoms accompanying acute and chronic overdoses of STRATTERA were somnolence, agitation, hyperactivity, abnormal behavior, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Signs and symptoms consistent with mild to moderate sympathetic nervous system activation (e.g., mydriasis, tachycardia, dry mouth) have also been observed. Less commonly, there have been reports of QT prolongation and mental changes, including disorientation and hallucinations. == An airway should be established. Monitoring of cardiac and vital signs is recommended, along with appropriate symptomatic and supportive measures. Gastric lavage may be indicated if performed soon after ingestion. Activated charcoal may be useful in limiting absorption. Because atomoxetine is highly protein-bound, dialysis is not likely to be useful in the treatment of overdose. ---- Note from the Author: This answer has been provided by a medical professional, but not a medical doctor.

From personal experiance, skipping doses of strattera causes majour aggrivation and rapid mood swings. If you have axioty or depression it can cause suicidal thoughts with in 4 hours. Almost anything will irritate you and you will be annoied and anything that moves or makes noise.

My doctor specifically told me to take it at night because it is a long-acting medicine. It needs to be a constant time though.

I know that Strattera's most common side affect is dry mouth, which I experience. Creatine increases water retention, so I also wondering if this combination would increase the dry mouth.

No, it should not.

It should cause you to be more focused.

Keep in mind that Strattera has been shown to cause depression and suicidal thoughts in children.

Viagra works by regulating blood flow, making the penis erect for longer.

Marijuana slows down the blood circulation in your body, but makes your heart beat faster as the brain attempts to combat the effects of the drug.

Mixing these will cause an irregular blood circulation that can cause a heart attack or stroke.

I don't think your partner will be pleased with you dropping dead on top of her.

The risks are the same as for everyone. 40 mg of Strattera is not a large dose; for people who weigh more than 70 kg (about 150 pounds), it is the usual starting dose (and we usually increase the dosage from there). In teens, though, the medication does have a new warning about increase feelings of suicide, especially when starting it or changing the dose; your physician hopefully warned you about this and mentioned how to get help if you do start feeling this way. I have prescribed lots of Strattera to teens and find that most people do not have side effects. A few have mentioned some nausea, which is usually resolved by having them take the medicine with food in the morning. Taking it at night has seemed to lead to some sleep disturbance in some as well. The biggest problem some people have with Strattera is it not relieving their ADHD symtpoms; if this is the case, the medicine either should be increased up to the maximum dose or switched to another medication--or the diagnosis should be re-examined. Talk to your physician if you have any concerns about Strattera or any other medications you may be on. Hope this helps! Dr. B.

Yes, depression and suicidal thoughts are side effects of Strattera. This website can give you more information on the drug, how it works and side effects. If you are feeling depressed please see your doctor as soon as possible.

IF Strattera is prescribed properly for ADHD symptoms, then yes, it may help improve focus and attention thereby improving performance in sports.

Using it without the ADHD diagnosis will not improve performance.

yes

No Strattera often makes people tired. I have tryed this medication before(in the 40mg doseing) and i was very tired i also do not have adhd.

Strattera comes in the following oral capsule dosages: 10, 18, 25, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg. The dosage depends on your individual circumstances.

Yes, Cephalexin and Strattera can be taken together. Cephalexin is just an antibiotic and will have no effect on the Strattera.

Ask your doctor before using clonazePAM together with OLANZapine. This can cause low blood pressure, shallow breathing, weak pulse, muscle weakness, drowsiness, dizziness and slurred speech. This may be more likely to occur in older adults or those with a debilitating condition. You should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until you know how these medications will affect you. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use these medications together. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Yes, lyrica and strattera can be taken together. It is a rather speedy combo if I do say so, the lyrica can produce a "rolling" effect. And the strattera enhances that quite a bit. I should know, I'm doing it right now :]

As an adult woman, I've had amazing results with it and very few side effects. Mostly it helps me with organizational skills and sequential thinking (normally, I'm all over the place). It also tends to help with my temper. While I wouldn't say I have a horrible temper normally, I do tend to be much more even when I'm taking Strattera. Lastly, I notice an improvement with is my ability to act in a professional manner. Here, I notice the most dramatic improvement and quite frankly, I've become afraid to go without. It's hard to be more specific without knowing me. Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: It really depends on the person, though, and how their body reacts to it (or any medication for that matter - each person is different). You don't necessarily "feel" Strattera working because it does not give the same energy or "high" like the stimulants such as Ritalin do, but you will "know" if it is working because you'll notice the improvements in yourself. If you start taking Strattera, be patient with it. It can take up to a month to start seeing results and it can take a couple of weeks for your body to adjust to the initial side effects (which can include nausea and fatigue).

I am 35 and recently diagnosed with ADHD. If I could go back in time, I would want my ADHD diagnosed when I was a child and would want Strattera to be available then. Why? Because it has made THAT big of a difference for me in my life. I'm still me, but I'm a much better, much more focused me.
