hi, we have a 7 year old son who's been on strattera for a few weeks now and seems to be having problems with his eyes. he keeps screwing them up as if he's in bright light or as if he's really tired. his vocabulary can be a bit limited so he finds it hard to explain to us what his eyes feel like.
has anyone else had this as a side effect of this medication? we had his eyes tested last week and they're A-OK. :eyebrow:

tia,

I have noticed the med makes my mucous membraes dry. You might try some eye drops or something like that to moisturize a little. Best of luck!

I had a visual side effect from Strattera for the first 3 weeks. It made my eyes feel very strained and tired. It was hard to read anything. But it has sense gone away and back to normal. I've been on it for a little over 6 weeks now.
