Hello,
I am am on 18mg starting dose, day 4 of Strattera. I have a lot of big problems from drinking and self southing behaviors (mainly sexual) to deal with Anxiaty in my teens and twentys. Im now 38 and just diagnosed. I am finding that the Strattera is causing my Anxiatys to become a lot worse and feeling a sort of fight and flight response (more than usual). Dos anyone know if this will pass? Has Strattera helped with anxiaty?
Also, can anyone give advice about possibile other treatment options for somone that suffers with very high levels of anxiaty and shame?
Thanks for any advice 🙂

You need to discuss this with your prescribing doctor ASAP. These are not “normal” side effects for this medication. It can cause emotional struggles. There are other options for treating ADHD.
