I agree. Meds do have side effects but it does need to be taken in perspective.
Some medication side effects are idosyncratic whereas some are exposure/dose dependant.
I am taking straterra because it really helps me and I can't find too many functional alternatives. I am concenred about the potential liver problems. I don't know if periodic testing would help.If this reaction is ideosyncratic, where only certain people have liver reactions, then that would be ok. If atomoxatine is hepatotoxic in geneeral and damages most livers in a dose / exposure dependant way (like alcohol), then I am not so sure I want to be taking it for any length of time.
I have post SSRI persistant sexual dysfunction too. But to be honest, I'd rather have this than liver damage. Anyhow, its hard to find somebody who can put the side effects into proper perspective.Linkadge
