I started taking Strattera on roughly a month and a week ago. I am on 80mg in the morning... I weigh 200 lbs and am male. It was the same day I quit smoking (success sofar!) From day one, I noticed changes... not many good (let me know if this is normal, please) I became incredibly tired - mostly in the mid-morning through the afternoon. This did not stop as time progressed, and seemed to get worse. I began to fall asleep in class, even driving to work, and just today, I drove to Columbus from Cincinnati and almost died literally 4 or more times due to instantly and uncontrollably falling asleep at the wheel. Also lethargic That's effect # 1.
#2. Cottonmouth. When I wake up, my mouth is so dry and funny-tasting that I almost throw up daily... and it does not get better as the day progresses. It's really quite bad...
#3 - Sexual side effects - I do not have a problem getting an erection, but am unable now to retqain it longer than 5-10 minutes tops, when I could for much longer before. It just goes soft for no reason and will not gain bloodflow for minutes. This is obvioulsy very frustrating in bed, and that causes more issues...
As of right now, I have not really noticed any true concentration increases, and the side effects WAY outweigh any good the drug does for me. I an discontinuing the use tomorrow morning...
Here's my main question... When I stop, will these side effects go away, and how long tuntil they do?? My main concern is the inability to maintain an erection. and the falling asleep at the wheel I am 18 years old, and this is killing me. I just want it to go away! Please let me know if you have any input!
