> also my head feels very weird, almost like i get dizzy, but more like i have soup sloshing around in my head. haha Just very spacy in a bad way i guess. Hopefully this will help some of you! Oh and i was on Strattera for 6 months before going off it. good luck to everyone and thanks for responding!I finally got around to looking for anyone else who has withdrawl symptoms... and your sentence above is a pretty good description of what I've felt each time I've missed a couple of doses or actually stopped taking it. I had to stop for a week or so in the spring, due to severe food poisoning, and thought that the head sensation (which also reminds me of a hangover!) was from E. coli. But since then, I've made the connection to not taking the Strattera. I've been off it for a week now, to see what happens, mostly, and that sensation is still happening, especially when I'm tired. I was taking 160 mg a day starting more than a year ago (I was in the clinical trial), then dropped to 80 a day about six months ago. It's not a pleasant feeling and I sure hope it passes soon, even though it's getting less severe and happening less often with each day.
