Hiya. I'm taking Strattera--been taking it for two weeks. Last week, one day I felt like I had the flu. This week, I feel like I have a cold. (I hate that feeling.) I've heard that cold and flu symptoms are side effects of Strattera. Is this true? If so, do these side effects ever go away? I take 40 mg. each morning.

I have had a couple GREAT days on Strattera. But I can't handle the cold/sore throat/headachy feelings. It's too bad.

I also take Effexor for D. Pression and Wellbutrin for...depression and ADD.

Anyone have any experience to share? I'd be much obliged.

Well,
I haven't really felt anything like that because OF strattera, I've felt it while on Strattera of course, but I am pretty sure that's just because of all the flu's and crap that's going around these days.

This cold/flu thing sucks. Dry mouth, sore throat, stuffed up nose. Headaches. Feeling hung over. I tried not to take my dose today and ended up with rage. Obviously, Strattera and me do not get along...hopefully one of the other meds will, because I cannot achieve anything!!!! I can get nothing done--and life continues to pass me by......
