Strattera Withdrawal Symptoms...

my doc recently had me try 18 mgs of Strattera for my ADHD, but of course my insurance doesn't want to cover it and i'm now out of samples. Its been a few days and I think I'm experiencing withdrawal. I've experienced withdrawal symptoms from anti-depressants before, but this seems more intense like a stomach flu or something. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems really intense for such a low dosage.
