Liver damage did not emerge as a Strattera side effect during short-term Strattera clinical trials of 6,000 patients. However, Straterra has now been on the market for several years. The longer time and larger pool of people taking the drug allowed a Strattera liver damage side effect to present itself in a small number of people taking Strattera.
The new package warning indicates that Strattera should be discontinued in patients who developed jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) or laboratory evidence of liver damage.
Signs and symptoms of liver damage include:
_ Itchy skin
_ Jaundice
_ Dark urine
_ Abdominal tenderness on the upper right side
_ Unexplained "flu-like" symptoms
Can Strattera be taken at night?
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.
What medications work best for narcolepsy?
there are a lot of medication options. And something else to consider is that narcoleptics often suffer from additional issues like: restless legs syndrome, apnea, and cataplexy, which may require their own medications. I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy for over 12 years and in that time i have taken ritalin: This did keep me awake but i had to take it 3 times a day, and I wasn't great about taking them at the exact right times. And if i didn't take them at the exact time i was supposed to, i would really feel a "crash". I decided that the ups and downs were to extreme. But many people take it and it works for them. I think it's important to learn about the options and then try one and see how it works for YOU. Everyone responds differently. Dexedrine: this worked well to keep me awake but I occasionally felt like i was buzzing and I didn't like the research that i was reading about the affects that amphetimenes can have on your body. So i looked for an alternative. Provigil: much better! This is great for me, it is not an amphetimine and I think it does a much better job of keeping me awake and stablized. I currently take a generic version that is 100% fine. Unfortunately the greedy drug manufacturing companies in the US have actually paid generic drug manufacturers NOT to make a generic of provigil, so i have to order it from Canada. The price is much better and the quality is the same, they mail the pills to me, and the customer service is fantastic.
What happens if you combine Strattera and Adderall?
For common drug interactions, visit: http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs/1,4109,,00.html There, you can "plug in" different drugs and find out if there are any known interactions. You really need to ask a pharmacist to be sure. Don't gamble with drugs, drug combinations or your health. Call your local drug store. They'll be glad to assist. ~ T
Does Strattera help with focusing?
:
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.
Answer:
I am not entirely sure as to the definite effects of taking both of these two drugs.
However, I am not sure what the reason it is you are asking a question such as this since your doctor should've informed you on such.
But if that is not the case, I can tell you this, Risperdal is used mainly for the treatment of schizophrenia. I don't know exactly the reason in which you are taking both of these medications. But if you are schizophrenic, I wouldn't recommend taking Strattera unless of course the benefits overweigh the risks. Now, Risperdal is a powerful anti-psychotic, and works on two neurotransmitters in the brain (mostly dopamine but also serotonin) it does not work on the nuerotransmitters transporters that Strattera affects which are norepinephrines transporters. So I highly doubt taking both will kill you, however this can ultimately depend on the amount of each drug you are taking. If you are taking an appropriate dosage of each I wouldn't see this as anything life-threatening. But, Risperdal is also helpful for depression, so if that is why you're taking Strattera I don't see a point. Basically it is up to you to decide if you want to continue taking both of these drugs, but I don't see it necessary. It would be nice to know why you are taking both drugs in the first place, since they are entirely different medications. :) hope this helps*******
Do you get higher snorting Ativan?
It will hit you much faster and harder, but it's effect only last a fraction of the time.
Orally ingesting it, effects usually last 3-6 hours. Snorting may only last 2-3.
Also depends on your tolerance though.
If your looking for a more intense "speedier" high, Snort it.
But if your looking for the longer more detailed high, Ingest it.
Can you mix Strattera with marijuana?
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.
I was an ADHD child mom tried everything to calm me down the worse it got the more depressed I got. one day I guess it was a cry for help or i am lucky that i didn't know what I was doing i tried to slice my wrist. that got me put in the hospital. after weeks of evaluations they put me on welbutrin and it helped i went from cs and d's to a's and b's. I did get off of it till just recently i experienced some mood swings and such. I was also a single mom for 3 years and divorced and when I met my current husband my brain tried to push him away thus the moods and such the welbutrin came to my rescue again. It has truly been a blessing in my life I dont know where I would be with out it
My daughter has been on everything imaginable, she did however take strattera for a short time. She is 13 years old and currently on depekote. They can't make up their minds what to diagnosis her as, but when she was on the strattera she did lose a lot of weight, but she vomited everyday. She didn't have an appetite and she was alot more hyper. So we took her off that. Then she was put on adderall and it made her dizzy. She had taken that several years before when she was about 9 years old. She was also on paxil for about 2 weeks when she was 11 years old which has caused her down fall. She was admitted into a physciatric hospital due to suicidal thoughts and basically going nuts. We have taken her off medications because they weren't doing any good at all. At this time if she misses a dose of her depakote we all just have to pack up and move out. Be very careful what you put your children on. We did find out, about a year later, that the new studies on paxil caused suicidal tendency. I don't know if as she grows older her problems get worse or if putting her on the paxil in the first place caused the chemical imbalance. I still don't think we've found the miracle drug combination yet, never tried her on welbutrin. Maybe that would be the next step.
akaleia's story
I am responding to the statement the user before me had with her experience of having her daughter on Paxil. I was 19 at the time and this was the first of any kind of mental medication I was put on, mostly for shyness and depression. Anyway, I gained 40 lbs on it, (I'm 28 now, it's still a struggle) and if I went even an hour without my dose of paxil, my face and hands would go numb and I would go into a panic fit, like a tatrum as a toddler. Mind you, I was on 40 mgs, I beleive.. it took a very long time to get off of. I even had to go down to 1/4 of the pill to wean myself off of it, eventually turning to Lexapro with good results. I would suggest a non-stimulant for her add, as well as nutrition, and just getting her involved in outside volunteering. Strattera is a good add/adhd drug. Discuss all of this with your dr of course. . Your post may be old, but maybe it will help others! Good luck, and once you find something that works, don't let someone talk you into something different!
What are risks taking 40 mgs of Strattera when 16 years old?
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.

Does Strattera work for Fibromyalgia?
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.
