Strattera and Birth Control Pills?

Does anybody know of any studies that have been done about the interaction of Strattera and Birth Control pills?

joanrdtobe is an unknown quantity at this point
Go to www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/medicate: click on Women During Childbearing Years

It didn't mention Strattera per say but did say, "estrogen in birth control pills effects the breakdown of medications by the body...for example increasing the side effects of some antianxiety meds or reducing their ability to relieve symptoms of anxiety.

On Strattera.com the answer to the question "What Should I Tell My Doctor Before taking Strattera" -- it said, be sure to tell your doctor if your nursing, pregnant or thinking about becoming preganct...before taking Strattera
