When do the side effects occur?
Hello.
I've been taking 10mg of atomoxetine since today, and so far I'm feeling fine, apart from tiredness and a slight headache. My question is, will the side effects still occur, or will I not have any if I hardly had any on the first day?
And does anyone here have experience with atomoxetine (Strattera)? What side effects did you have, and did you gain weight? I'm really scared of gaining weight 🙁
Atomoxetin (Strattera) is a drug for the treatment of ADHD. It is a mirror medication that unfolds its effect only after 1-3 weeks. The side effects (if they arise) are usually most pronounced at the beginning of the treatment or after dose increases. If you haven’t had any side effects in the first 1-2 days, they won’t come any longer with a constant dose of adjacent safety. However, it may be that, after a dose increase, temporary undesirable effects occur. However, this is also the case for people who had side effects already from the outset and less for consumers who had no adverse effects until this time.
How long to atomic oxetine works?
While methylphenidat shows a sudden, so-called “on-off effect start”, the effect of Atomoxentine only gradually during a week. Up to full effectiveness, four to six weeks may pass.

So the side effects come only in a week?
Yeah, that’s a little slow.
