I just finished 7 days on Strattera and I didn't get dry mouth, sleep was interrupted for a couple of nights but I went right back to sleep, I didn't get nauseated but a slight stomach discomfort taking it either with food or without, I got night sweats the first two nights and that passed.
My question is sexual disfunction. I don't have ED but the other, you know, funny ejaculation(not Ha Ha). Does this go away after awhile? I need to know:(
I am 58 and this is bothering me. I read one of the posts where it lasted for 3 months and the person stopped taking it. Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks

Thanks Well I found with a personal experience, that my umm...orgasm would feel rather odd if I came after taking the pill, like maybe 1 or 2 hours afterwords.

Odd I mean I got slight discomfort in the testicles and it would feel like I have to urinate. It passed after around 20 seconds, but it's uncomfortable.


Please tell me this is a normal side effect.

Hope this helps


Thank you.

Apparently this is not a normal side effect. My Phych told me to stop for awhile to see if the side effects go away. He told me none of his patients have had any sex problems. He also said 25mg is an very low dosage. I didn't take my dosage last night and had trouble waking up this morning. One thing Strattera did was to make waking up easier.

That's strange, cause this morning I never woke up until almost 4 in the afternoon(Im unemployed at the moment), when I went to bed at 2 am.

Other than that, thats the only side effect I have, the sexual one.

My sexual side effects gradually went a way after 2 or 3 months.
