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.

It can, I found (for myself) that it temporary got rid of around 70-80% of my issues. If you don't have the side effects try it out.

yes you may see the doctor without a parent at the age of 16 because i did it

My son is on his second day of 40mg straterra and has been alseep for the majority of the time, so I think the answer is YES straterra does make you sleepy. I am going to change the dosage time from a.m. to p.m. and see if it helps, maybe you might try your dosage time as well.

Yes it can. My 12 year old son has been on 40mg.of Straterra for 4 months. His attention span was somewhat better, but he was so sleepy he could barely stay awake for the first 2-4 hours. So we checked with his doctor and switched his med time to 10:00PM. He now sleeps much better at night and is awake enough for his classes daily. However, upon getting out of school in the afternoon he starts to behave more hyperactively and by 8:00 p.m., he's really hyper.

It must work differently for people because i get the exact opposite effect. I have actually needed less sleep while on it 80mg day.

Yes, Strattera made me too sleepy the first several days. I switched from taking Strattera in the morning to taking it at night. That has done the trick. I feel alert all day. I do feel very very calm. For some people that might be disturbing, for me it's a relief.

Now, if I could figure out how to stay alseep without waking every hour or so.

i think Straterra can make you tired and cause you to not be able to sleep during the same day - it happened to me.

in the first few hours after taking it, i can't sleep. but about 4 hours after taking it, i get very sleepy (but only if i am engaged in non active activities - watching tv, reading, etc).

i also realized that if i take the medicine too late in the day (after 3pm), i would wake up every hour all night long.

therefore i take the medicine in the morning and try to remain active in the 4-5 hours after.

i think the answer is different for everyone, but the time of day that you take it plays a big factor in sleepiness/sleeplessness.

Yes. I am a 28 year old male. I took Strattera a few months ago for about a month, and finally had to stop because I had no energy, and had to take a nap every evening. I normally only need about 6-7 hours of sleep, but on Strattera I need a lot more. It got a little better after a few weeks, but I was still always tired. I started taking it again a few days ago, after talking with my doctor and deciding to try a lower dose. I had the same effects with only 25mg. I stopped it this time because of other side effects (severe testicle pain), which I had last time, but didn't realize it was the Strattera causing it.

YES!

I have been taking strattera for 15 months now, and I am certain that it is causing me to need more sleep than before.

I used to only need 5-6 hours a day. Now, if i don't get at least 8 (10 is best) I can hardly function.

This has required some adjustment for me and my wife (i'm a 30 year old male), but the benefits of Strattera have very far outweighed this inconvenience.

In my experience, the answer is a clear YES! I was on 25mg first, then 40mg for a month, and have now been on 80mg for six weeks. I have never felt so fatigued except when I had anemia. I can sleep for 10 hours a day and not feel refreshed. I can't be awake for more than a few hours without feeling really tired. And to make things worse, my ADD symptoms have not gone away at all. In addition, I feel hungry all the time.

Prior to this, I had been on Adderall XR for three years. That worked like magic the first two years, but then quit on me. I hope that if I start taking it again, it'll work again because the tolerance will have worn off.

My daughter began taking Strattera when she was 9 and puberty appeared to have already have started (hair growth etc). She is now just 14 and has been physically well developed for over 3 years, however her periods still have not started. I would suggest that this is related to her use of Strattera and believe that the medication must have delayed the onset of menstruation.

Possibly. Every medicine has side effects. Or it may just be hereditary. You decide.

If children of a young age take Ritalin is has been known to stunt their growth by a few inches to 6 inches.

Neither Prozac nor Strattera are uppers or downers. Prozac works on serotonin, and Strattera works on norepinephrine, two of our brain cocktails. Both drugs level out their respective neurotransmitters; nothing is added or removed, just made to work more efficiently. Prozac may inhibit some of the activity by Strattera; as for being safe, however, this is for a doctor to decide and monitor. Each case is different.

Just say no! to this combination of drugs. THere is no research indicating the efficacy, benefits or risks of this kind of drug combination.

Taking this combination is risky and can lead to sudden death in a worst case scenario.

I'm on Strattera. I'm experiencing hot flashes.

However, I'm also 51 and it's probably attributable to menopause. Nevertheless, I thought I'd Google strattera/hot flashes to see if there was a pattern.

I've been on 25 mg of Strattera for about a month now and I have noticed a huge increase in the number of hot flashes I have (I'm 33). I also have noticed that I feel sweaty most of the time on the back of my neck and forehead. When I'm at the gym or doing some kind of physical activity, I seem to produce more sweat than I have in the past.

I have been taking 25MG of strattera for 6 days now and I have had hot flashes all of those days and my hands and feet are very cold. Usually after I after my lunch hour I am freezing but warm up after I start working again.

Yes, I've definitely experienced them since on the Strattera. Luckily they've gone away after about a year of use. However, they have been replaced by cold legs/feet.

It depends where you live. If you live in Canada in the province of Ontario then Cymbalta is covered by the government.

I have taken 2 20mg focalin and snorted them but before that I took to hydro after I snorted the focalin I poped 2 more hydro i was high for like 12 hours no jOke I am surprised I am not dead I don't advise taking the dosage I did to get high take half of what I did

There are no known drug interactions between Strattera and depo provera

I think it depends on the starting dose. I started at 40 mg. for 3 days, then went to 60 for 3 days and then to 80. This is what I am currently taking and have been for about a month.

children shouldn't take more that 100mg per day or 1.2mg/kg body wt.

0.454kg = 1lbs there fore this 75lb or 34.1kg kid should not exceed 40mg per day.

I had the same question, I also took an ADD medication with Lexapro. I was prescribed them at the same time. I did my research and found that you should NOT start taking them at the same time. Start one and start taking the other about 2 weeks after or they will interact. But other than that, you can certianly take them at the same time. Depression and ADD seem to go hand in hand a lot.

Strattera According to Eli Lilly's Web site for the drug, it is a "norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor." It works "by selectively blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine, a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, by certain nerve cells in the brain. This action increases the availability of norepinephrine, which is thought to be essential in regulating impulse control, organization and attention. The precise mechanism by which Strattera works on ADHD is not known." It's a non-stimulant medication, available only by prescription. It comes in an oral capsule taken once or twice a day. "The most common side effects were upset stomach, decreased appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, and mood swings."

All animals, including birds, can snore. The reasons why they snore vary, due to physiological makeup and health conditions. My parrot snores when he sleeps. This is not a mimicked sound. Many parrots, but not all, snore, and birds in the wild have also been recorded with snoring sounds when sleeping. There is very little research done in this area, although it can be indicative of breathing problems. Birds and animals, like humans, can develop respiratory issues. If you are worried about your pet bird, or notice other symptoms of odd behavior with your parrot, you should consult your avian specialist immediately.

I am told by my doctor to take it in the morning but it makes it real tired. i just started it about a week ago so im hoping to get immune to the sleepyness...however it could be my abilify which i plan on stopping.

No there is nothing wrong. It may be that you are getting less sleep than you need. The right amount of sleeping hours is usually said to be 8 to 9 hours. But it may be that you are wasting a lot of energy and not getting enough back.

Can you take strattera and depakote together?

No, it is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
