I think I've heard some rumblings from at least one person about having side effects which remained even after quitting Strattera.
Can anyone attest to their existance or has anyone heard of this?
For the week I went off Strattera recently I did notice the 'half-erection' side effect remained, which totally ****ed me off!

I'm surprised. Straterra is a drug you have to keep taking to keep in your system. It doesn't keep working the next day or the day after if you stop taking it. At least that's how my doctor explained it to me.
There may be another reason for your incomplete erection.

I only took it for a short time (week and half or so), but the side effects were gone completely after about 2-3 days.

Strattera is a tricyclic anti depressant (renamed and repackaged for ADHD) ---

and anti depressants are infamous for sexual side effects. It tooks months after I got off Prozac (an SSRI anti depressant) and I'm still not sure I'm back to baseline, but I'd give it a little more time before you totally panic.
