Turbo,
Dry mouth was a real problem for me because I am a teacher and spend most of my day talking to people. I resolved myself to having a bottle of water in hand constantly because I was so much better at my job being on it. The other real issue I had was that I’d wake up at 3 AM, sometimes earlier, with my mind racing. I usually got up and just did some work, which usually was very productive…but I wasn’t getting enough sleep. I did have some libido issues, but my husband and I were able to resolve those by being creative
Being a woman, I did not have any of the other physical issues that you have experienced.
For me, the loss of appetite was a concern because I am considered “underweight” already. I normally have a very healthy appetite and have always been able to eat a lot because my metabolism is very high. I just had to force myself to eat for the first couple of weeks on Strattera, and my appetite eventually returned.
I worked with the side effects because it was worth the benefits of being able to focus and get organized for the first time ever. I am curious about how long you’ve been using Strattera, and if the side effects will eventually subside, as the appetite loss did for me. I would talk to my doctor about the pain, though.
Good luck.
