In reply to Strattera - side effects not mentioned anywhere, posted by Pheope on March 12, 2003, at 21:27:26

At first I noticed no effect what-so-ever, until I raised my dosage to 80mg and was hit with a whole barrage of side effects; none of which were mentioned in any of the listings I could find. I've kept up on the meds and had good
> results emotionally, yet physically I continue to feel ill. I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing? Here are some of the things I'm experiencing. Flu-like symptoms, acid reflux (extreme burning in throad and breast bone right after taking meds), muscle aches, tiredness, weight gain, cravings (overeating). Please respond. ThanksHi- i've been taking strattera (25 mg) for about a month now and i'm glad to see i'm not the only one experiencing weird side effects. the first few days, i had the heartburn, and for a week after that i had flu symptoms but no fever. my whole body hurt, i was falling asleep at 7 PM, etc. luckily those side effects are gone but i have been feeling chronically hot and sweating a lot even if its feezing outside, and i get a head rush every time i stand up. i've been very ichy too and my skin is breaking out which is not normal for me. i guess it's better than the stimulents tho, because they made me feel cranky all the time. i hope the side effects get better, and if anyone else is experiencing any of this stuff please post!
