Has this happened to anyone else?
I get severely lonely. It's like an obsessive loneliness almost. I'm not sure if I can take it

I've been feeling pretty lonely too (also on Strattera), but I think it's because I'm living by myself now.
How about you? Has anything changed in your life besides starting to take Strattera?
Remember to tell your doctor if you feel too sad, though! ;) My doctor told me today that Strattera can cause depression for some people.

Noticing depression here lately after increasing to 40mg two times a day (morning and afternoon). I want to give it a little bit more time, but I am worried it may affect my work.
I'll probably ride it out until end of December and see how I feel then.

yeah imo Strattera is USELESS, USELESS, USELESS
I'm quite glad a bit happier now that I'm on a regiment of 20 mgs of dexedrine and coffee and excercise and Omega3, (that last one of which I HIGHLY reccomend) I'm totally just as into socializing and stuff but without that loneliness crap. it was a weird and depressing feeling I'm now glad to have kissed the f*dge goodbye
Honestly though when you just step back and think about it -- its a FAILED ANTIDEPRESSANT, remarketed. Not only that but on the Strattera website its like "believe it or not -- we don't actually know why Strattera helps ADD! It just does." I'll tell you why, because after shelling out $300 a month any half-baked antidepressant would 'help'. haha my two cents on that matter

FWIW, I was feeling pretty down (taking 140mg though). Now that I stopped, I feel much more better moodwise.
