> I take Prozac (60mg) and Strattera (80mg - less didn't do it for me). I had nausea in the beginning, but it went away. I take it all in the morning because taking it at night caused sleep problems. I take so many drugs that I don't know how the Strattera adds to the dry mouth. I think I've had dry mouth for 6 months at this point (and I've only had Strattera for 2 1/2). I just carry a water bottle wherever I go and use Biotene toothpaste (specially designed for dry mouth, plus I like the super mild taste). I can't talk about the effect on my sex life because I have no sex life. It is a really good drug for me.
Thanks. Amazing that you needed 80 mg of strattera even though you take a bunch of prozac. What other drugs are you taking that might have caused the dry mouth? (I don't believe prozac causes that effect)As for sex life, even if you don't have one with someone else, perhaps you could at least speculate on how Straterra affects your libido, no?And by the way, I didn't mean to say that the problems staying asleep had completely gone away, only that it was getting better. I take it in the morning, but it's still somewhat of a problem. Do you think that will resolve with time? Thanks
