> In response to Trixie's post of 8/29/03, I started taking Strattera with my evening meal several days ago for AADD. I immediately noticed the same effects on my ability to sleep that she had. I immediately started waking up every couple hours and, after about 4-5 hours of interrupted sleep, could no longer sleep at all.
> I did not have the fatigue problems that she mentioned.

> I also noticed about 30-36 hours after I started taking the drug that it became increasingly difficult to urinate or defecate normally. Regardless of the "urgency" of the situation, I could only urinate "slowly" and walked away frequently feeling like I should go more but could not. Having a complete bowel movement was also difficult. both problems seemed to worsen the longer I took the drug. According to Lilly's website, these are known side effects for some adults. My doctor did not mention this to me.

> I stopped taking the drug after 4 days. Within 30-36 hours, these side effects started to go away and, after an additional 24-36 hours, everything was back to normal.
