Atomoxetine/Strattera experiences?

[Pantoufle23]

Keen to hear from those who’ve tried or use this for adhd? Running out of options 😔. Thanks

Hi, ds used this for 3.5 years with some good effect. However, through teen years we found it wasn’t enough snd now on Elvanse.
Good luck with it

Hi our son lost loads of weight and looked terrible. He also had stomach pains and heightened anger

Both of mine are on Atomoxetine and have been for a few years now. Tried methylphenidate before but it gave one the shakes and the other headaches. Have had no issues with atomoxetine at all. Both have ASD/ADHD and I think it's quite good because it also helps with their anxiety, although apparently it's been linked to depression, so worth bearing in mind.

@springisaroundthecorner is that definitely atomoxetine? Only because it sounds more like the possible side effects of methylphenidate?
