Does anyone have experience with Atomoxetine 10mg Capsules for ADHD?
I've recently been prescribed Atomoxetine 10mg Capsules for my ADHD. I've heard it's not a stimulant and works differently than other meds I've tried. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? I'm curious about the side effects and how well it works. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
I've been on Atomoxetine for about 6 months now, and it's been a game-changer for me. It definitely helps with my focus and impulsivity, but it did take a few weeks to kick in. I had some initial side effects like headaches and trouble sleeping, but those went away after a while.
I was really worried about the liver problems and heart issues mentioned in the side effects list. I ended up getting some blood tests done before starting the meds, just to be safe. My doctor should have done that. Wished they had warned me.
I found that taking it with food helps a lot with the stomach issues. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water to combat the dry mouth.
Be careful with this stuff. I had a friend who ended up in the ER with a bad reaction. Made me worry about trying it. I ended up sticking with my old meds.
I didn't notice any side effects with this medication, but I do think it helps with my focus. I've seen a big difference in my productivity at work.
