Re: Strattera – Question from Male collegues only!

It takes a long time for Stattera to level out and take full effect and for the side effects to subside. Over and over again I see people saying the side effects were intolerable and that they are stopping the medication and I honestly think that’s a huge mistake.

When I started on it my doctor told me that it will be months before side effects subside and they will be minimal once you reach a stable dosage and that’s exactly how it went. Side effects in the first 3 months while ramping up the dosage were quite pronounced.

I’m at 120mg (off label but still within the body-weight/dose guidelines) now for more than year and a half and I have virtually no side effects and life changing benefits.

The only side effect remaining is “modified ejaculation” which for me at least means that I dribble before I spit so to speak. No issues with erections or libido or anything else at this point.
