Took this for the first time yesterday. I started off of 40 mg and they want me to get to 60. I mostly just got nauseous and a little lightheaded I feel like I went through a time warp...Where everything just slow down.It was totally crazy
How is it working now? I've been on it for a week, taking it nightly and I can't sleep. Been scaling back the time I take it but I still struggle with it. I'm only taking 25mg.
@@braceyourselvesfortruth2492 i was just prescribed this for adhd, i started on 40 and after a few days they had me start taking 2, so 80 mg. They recommended me to take it twice during the day, morning/ noon. I do not think i would be able to sleep either if i took it at night! I am not sure if its a placebo effect, but i am already a le to feel a little difference in the way my brain processes tasks.
@@madworld395 wow, with that much I would be surprised if you felt nothing. I gradually scaled my timing back so that I take it in the morning, but I still struggled to sleep at night. I think it's getting better now, or it may be because I've been more active.

bruh from age like age 12 to like 18 till i stopped the strattera myself (110kilos at 14 yrs old i took 80mg split in 3 parts a day) but now at 26 been thinking to do it again also i got sleepy n dumb all the time they knock the shit outta me those meds! one love from venezuela

I can't believe feeling hot wasn't a major side effect. I'm on day 3 and up at 3:30 hot AF. I have circulation issues and usually my hands and feet are like ice blocks but not today!
This is old AF but man I'm day 5 it's 81 f out and I can't handle it I work in HVAC doing work in temps of 100 f commonly but I couldn't stand there in 80f weather
Thanks so much!! Thank you for taking the time out to explain what our doctors don’t have the time to explain to us. Insightful and helpful with the drawings and explanations rather than a quick verbal rant on side effects and a scary pamphlet
If your child is on this please do them a favor and run, the short time control of adhd is not worth the life shattering consequences in the future. This med will sedate, delay puberty, stunt growth, weight gain. This medication took away my childhood and early adult life. It’s not right that I was able to run faster, learn more efficiently at the age of 25 instead of my younger years, after stopping strattera it take a year for the effects to wear off. The manufacturers hardly even know how it actually works in the body and had no clue the very first years it was released.
Stop it. I have been getting vivid dreams everyday as well, but be aware. You are not getting a good sleep. I have my watch that measure my sleep patterns and everything about my sleep. I have noticed that my deep sleep “the good sleep” has gone down, actually I don’t get anymore deep sleep after taking the med. while my light sleep and rem have gone high. I would rather sleep all night without having to wake up to piss or because I had a dream.

Honestly I don’t notice a huge difference in mood or thought patterns, but I do feel like my estimation of energy exertion is more practical. Like before Straterra I would think abt picking something up off the floor but it would feel like that would take up so much energy so I wouldn’t do it. Now I can do things like that very easily and build off of that energy to do more things rather than let it drain me. I’ve also completely lost the constant urge to binge eat. These are my current side effects in the first month of taking it: Dry mouth Dizziness Insomnia (mostly when I drink) Weird dreams Feeling super hot Acid reflux
@@wildcatslife686 no, it means you don't waste the energy you already have on things like worrying too much, suppressing million other thoughts, battling fatigue to do stuff, etc. It also suppresed my appetite which I personally don't like so I try to take it after solid lunch
Sweats, spinning out, up and down moods, constipation and some really intense need to sleep in the middle of the day; this is after a week of use. Plus this weird woozy feeling, and a ‘busy head’. I’m going to persevere for another few weeks, but beyond that, this will be intolerable. Think I’d rather have my symptoms untreated than feel like this, as crazy as it sounds.
After a month, I had to stop, as they were making me quite ill. I couldn’t afford the follow up appointments with the private clinic to get more, anyway, so it was a blessing in disguise. I’m currently on the NHS waiting list to be assessed by them, before I can receive any specific ADHD medication. It could be a long wait, as there is only one NHS ADHD clinic for two counties, where I live.
Anyone else felt dull and emotionless after the first week? I’m on my second week after reabusing alcohol and adderall, which was prescribed, while being on Strattera. It sucks i know but I Seemed to have a lot of panic and fear at night. I didn’t take it and I felt somewhat normal again. I’m going back on it tomorrow. update soon. anyone have similar experience?
I did not realise this until other viewers complained too. It sounds completely different on my Studio system. If you look at my latest videos I've discarded any distracting background music. Sorry and thank you for trying to bring it to my attention.

literally love Strattera. It got rid of my anxiety. It ended my binge eating, which caused me to lose weight and helped me with my absentmindedness. If you’re on the fence just try it you might end up really liking it.
That was my same thought. Women do get erections in their clitoris ...helloooo that’s where women’s blood goes and how most women orgasm (smacks forehead)
He said women can't get erections, not that they don't have libidos. Unless a woman has a penis, which is entirely possible, she can't get an erections. Although, women do have erectile tissue.
@@RandolphTheWhite1 um no "erections" still apply to women too, not speaking about libido. Libido refers to desiring sex in general, but when I, as a woman, started taking antidepressants it would take me 45 min + to get off and sometimes I felt absolutely nothing as I did. just numbness. when before it easily took me 5 min or less and multiple orgasms of extreme intensity that made me laugh, cry and pass out. Men can't get elections and women can get erections too
@@giap.1586 Oh okay. I learned something today. Also, I know what you mean with the anti depressants. Let's just say my nickname was Lake Flaccid for a while. That's an unfortunate side effect of many SSRIs and SNRIs.
No heaches, dry mouth, Ed, I sleep shorter... but I love the side effects of not feeling hungry. 230 always wanted to get down to 190. If I over eat, slight feeling of nausea that makes me not want to eat...❤ not feeling hungry.
For me being on Straterra 80mg a while, I'd say these are most frequent side effects for ne, in order of most-to-least bothersome to my life : constipation, nausea, headache, decreased libido (not just men, you jerk), decreased appetite (completely stopped adhd eating habits like binge eating). When I stopped cold turkey, I expected NO side effects as I was told but i had a massive headache for two days accompanied with a full day of vertigo and messed with my mood but it's definitely mild considering it's not addictive. It worked but was about 30-50% effective which sometimes wasn't worth it for the side effects, especially constipation/nausea.
Back then I took this and everything was OK until I had an attempted suicide. It was literally for no reason. Only 2 months after that, the doctors said my adhd was a misdiagnosis.
I didn't like it, the worst of all symptoms was the lower abdominal pain and even genital pain, waking up shouting, jumping out of bed. The mood was very artificial feeling, like a controlled low, it didn't even supress my impulsivity. The only good side effect was the decongestant effect.
Makes a video for people with ADHD yet plays music in the background while talking so people with ADHD can’t even pay attention to the content. Literally can’t get the info I want because I can’t focus.
Can someone explain people starting on 25-40mg+... My psychiatrist starts ALL his patients on the lowest dose of 10mg and increases dose every 4-6weeks. I'm glad because he bumped me up to 18mg and it was too much... I was actually hypomanic. I'm bipolar/ ADHD. Just dropped back down to 10mg and might have to find another medication if I don't stable out.
If they are already on a high dose of a different adhd medication then that’s why they are prescribed at 40 mg or higher. Also probably because you have bpd which is an over abundance of dopamine and adhd is like a lack of dopamine so higher dose of adhd medication would increase your bpd traits
MY doc started me on 40mg. so far all it does is make me nauseated and i hate it, i wanted my old focalin xr at a higher dose but because its a stimulant i have to go through a drug test which i have to cover the cost of and have to get clean from weed. which isnt a big deal in and of it self. but i just hate the idea that i could get the shit as a kid. but now i need a drug test like i dont give a fuck if people abuse the shit. thats not my problem. harrassing people who need the shit doesnt do shit abour abuse or traficking. stupid government money grubing bullshit
I've been on and off adderall for a while in my adult life. my doc prescribed me this and I am sort of looking forward to trying a non stimulant based solution. I hear it can take a few weeks to notice results which im willing to endure. I dislike how adderall can be very intense at times even if were to use XR It will come in waves of extreme focus I would rather just have an ongoing stream. Hopefully no ED for me!
My 8 year old could not urinate, it’s like there was a mental block where her brain was not able to tell her pelvic muscles to relax to release the urine. She knew she needed to pee and felt it but she could not pee!
“If you’ve ever bitten into it to see what it takes like” Back when I was a kid my mom would split open the capsule and put it in my apple sauce. Sometimes I wouldn’t get mixed in all the way and I could still taste it. It was nasty.
I started this a week ago and haven't noticed any of this. I have been on Lexapro for a year and my doc said to stay on it while starting Straterra. I don't have any of these symptoms which is great but the whole point of my starting my ADHD treatment was because of my chronic fatigue I deal with and that has yet to improve. In fact, since starting this I have had to take a nap mid day two days this week and I NEVER nap, even with chronic fatigue I manage to stay awake and not take naps. If this doesn't improve in the next few weeks, I will be switching to a stimulant because I can't deal with the fatigue anymore, not with working two jobs that require focus!
Zoloft has helped me anxiety, ptsd and energy wise. I don't know if you're situation got better or what but I just wanted to share that with you in case you were looking for something else. Hope you have a better day.
I stopped this medication after 4 weeks. Everytime I would work out or play hockey, I was having cold sweats and faster heart rate. The weirdest were sexual side effects. I couldn’t get an erection properly and I had lower stomach pain during orgams... also, my sperm was fucking weird. The water and sperm were sepperated from each other.....
I’m 31, I’ve been taking 40mg twice a day for 3 months and 25mg for the 3 months before. 6 months total. After 40mg and 3 months ED happened overnight. 2 times in one week last week. Not sure why it magically showed up. I’ve had zero side effects until now.
How big was the control study vs the side effect numbers? typical doctor jumping to conclusions that make no sense "people are stupid so pharmaceuticals are totally safe and effective"

I took 40mg yesterday as my first time taking this drug and it completely knocked me on my bed, could hardly move with a bit of nausea and headaches. is it normal? now 12h later i feel just a bit weird but no more completely knocked 😕 .
@@ohsobridgey Thank you very much, let's see how it goes. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia but my psy wants me to try this to be more efficient at work. It seems the medicine is also lowering a bit my anxiety, but flatten my emotions. Anyways, everyone is different, and all the best to you as well with the treatment !
My son just tried vyvanse and he is also on Abilify. He is autistic and has depression the vyvanse made him angry and irritable so I took him off today. I am lost. Will strattera help him with adhd and his anxiety ?????
It very well might as structurally Strattera it has more in common with SSRI's used to treat mood disorders than the psychostimulants. But logic only gets you so far. There's no substitute for trial and error.
Just got this prescribed. Doc not sure if I have ADHD, so I need a dx from psych to get Adderall. Also on fluoxetine and bupropion for ptsd. One side effect of ptsd is not being able to focus on tasks because your brain is tired from always being in fight or flight/hypervigilance. Been taking Strattera for 5 days now and don't notice any increase in ability to concentrate.
@@-g.k.4389 Straterra didn't do anything for me and made me have ED. I'm on 20mg Adderrall now and it helps some. Cautious about increasing dosage because its addictive.
Man they writeing with 2 hands is nuts. I take zeratera at 45mg and it was picked because I also take lithium for bipolar. No appetite and constipation are full effect also tiredness
Everyone crying about the music lol. Use the pause button.. replay it.. do you want to know the information that has been collected for you or not?? If you can't handle this minor distraction how are you even surviving? I didn't know crying about accomodations was a symptom of ADHD but by the comments - it is. .....Turn on captions ....
I don't know if I'm acting or if it's real, but I seem to have trouble breathing when I take it, and have a bit of wheezing? Also it feels like my chest is boiling? I'm starting at 25mg once a day, and then will be doing 25mg twice a day after 2 weeks.
@Angel Sanchez Very delayed menses. 3 months after stopping 80mg cold turkey. Probably not the best idea. There is a video that explains that a study in mice showed epigenetic changes that don’t go away possible ever.
Being able to read the comments has gotten me through 80% of the video n I cant recall what he was saying but I dont have the patience to watch again because.. I already herd it. Kinda. You know??🤪
It is possible but would be a violation of Occam's razor i.e. a solution with the fewest steps/agents/hassle. Straterra was studied in combination with Ritalin and they played fine together.
The math is actually very very very wrong here. If 17% of the placebo group had that side effect it does not mean that it accounts for 17% of all of the group. I won't be watching more vids by this guy.
He’s saying that BOTH groups had 17% (per group), so the frequency is equal amongst groups, making neither have a statistical significance, so it truly isn’t a large risk.

@@sarahdeatherage6021 I had COVID which made the problems a lot worse but after recovering and staying on the meds for a few weeks I’m not feeling any of the side effects anymore and my focus has improved a lot. If you experience bad symptoms after a couple weeks I’d recommend trying something else though
@@filltee if you feel better and you're still taking the meds, you should edit your original comment, so people don't get the wrong idea. Anyway, different people's bodies react differently.
I used Strattera for a couple years and it did help with my ADD, especially in school and at work (I was 55 yrs old). The only side effect I got was ED. My penis seemed to have shrunk during relaxation to about 1 1/2" to 2", usually I'm was 6 1/2". After stopping the use of Strattera and 5 yrs later, my penis size during relaxation is 3-4" and during erection about 5" It is extremely frustrating and there is not much I can do.
@Angel Sanchez trust me you won’t get anyone pregnant if you can’t even get it up bro. Even if you do have sex, to me at least i didn’t feel any enjoyment and that made me feel like I was dead. Sex is pointless if you can’t enjoy it.

I took it first time today...so far I have ADHD, 23 M , I felt nauseous a little because I took it without much food, recommend taking it with carbs not with proteine or fats, because it will make you drained, dry mouth moderate level and I got ED...yeah erectyle dysfunction and drop of libido , but this is as long as I take the pill I had the same problem with escitalopram and my penis healed after 1 week of giving up on it, so I feel that strattera shouldn't be taken with a week before planning to have sex as a man

It worked but was about 30-50% effective which sometimes wasn't worth it for the side effects, especially constipation/nausea.
This doc said erectile dysfunction only affects men as if women don't get aroused at all lol
I personally cannot stand nausea it Shuts me down almost completely.. I think I will avoid this one if nausea is common
@@vulpixelful Erectile dysfunction only applies to men (cuz penises), whereas libido applies to both genders.
Omfg stopping cold turkey is probably the most painful thing I ever went thru
If I could choose my side effects I would want the decreased appetite ONLY
The nausea comment about biting into the pill….made me LOL.
Back then I took this and everything was OK until I had an attempted suicide. It was literally for no reason. Only 2 months after that, the doctors said my adhd was a misdiagnosis.
I didn't like it, the worst of all symptoms was the lower abdominal pain and even genital pain, waking up shouting, jumping out of bed. The mood was very artificial feeling, like a controlled low, it didn't even supress my impulsivity. The only good side effect was the decongestant effect.
I really wish that you had not added this music. It is the equivalent to several people talking to you at the same time.
Makes a video for people with ADHD yet plays music in the background while talking so people with ADHD can’t even pay attention to the content.
Literally can’t get the info I want because I can’t focus.
Im so amazed at the fact you’re literally writing with both of your hands 😂
Can someone explain people starting on 25-40mg+... My psychiatrist starts ALL his patients on the lowest dose of 10mg and increases dose every 4-6weeks. I'm glad because he bumped me up to 18mg and it was too much... I was actually hypomanic. I'm bipolar/ ADHD. Just dropped back down to 10mg and might have to find another medication if I don't stable out.
If they are already on a high dose of a different adhd medication then that’s why they are prescribed at 40 mg or higher. Also probably because you have bpd which is an over abundance of dopamine and adhd is like a lack of dopamine so higher dose of adhd medication would increase your bpd traits
MY doc started me on 40mg. so far all it does is make me nauseated and i hate it, i wanted my old focalin xr at a higher dose but because its a stimulant i have to go through a drug test which i have to cover the cost of and have to get clean from weed. which isnt a big deal in and of it self. but i just hate the idea that i could get the shit as a kid. but now i need a drug test
like i dont give a fuck if people abuse the shit. thats not my problem. harrassing people who need the shit doesnt do shit abour abuse or traficking. stupid government money grubing bullshit
I've been on and off adderall for a while in my adult life. my doc prescribed me this and I am sort of looking forward to trying a non stimulant based solution. I hear it can take a few weeks to notice results which im willing to endure. I dislike how adderall can be very intense at times even if were to use XR It will come in waves of extreme focus I would rather just have an ongoing stream. Hopefully no ED for me!
how is everything?
how'd it go?
I’ve been there. Glad you’re working to get off of it. It’s rough.
My 8 year old could not urinate, it’s like there was a mental block where her brain was not able to tell her pelvic muscles to relax to release the urine. She knew she needed to pee and felt it but she could not pee!
Poor baby!!! That’s horrible
Over the top music, cartoon characters, writing with TWO hands at the same time. This video is giving me ADHD.
Ha ha. Will tone things down in future vids. Meanwhile thanks for giving me a chuckle.
“If you’ve ever bitten into it to see what it takes like” Back when I was a kid my mom would split open the capsule and put it in my apple sauce. Sometimes I wouldn’t get mixed in all the way and I could still taste it. It was nasty.
my adhd couldnt sit through this video 😭
How did they administer the sugar pill to the subjects over the 10 weeks.
fake packageing ?
Yes. the placebo is packaged to look like a real drug.
I started this a week ago and haven't noticed any of this. I have been on Lexapro for a year and my doc said to stay on it while starting Straterra. I don't have any of these symptoms which is great but the whole point of my starting my ADHD treatment was because of my chronic fatigue I deal with and that has yet to improve. In fact, since starting this I have had to take a nap mid day two days this week and I NEVER nap, even with chronic fatigue I manage to stay awake and not take naps. If this doesn't improve in the next few weeks, I will be switching to a stimulant because I can't deal with the fatigue anymore, not with working two jobs that require focus!
you should eat clean mostly low on carbs. at least low carbs during the day.
how do you work taking multiple naps a day?
Zoloft has helped me anxiety, ptsd and energy wise. I don't know if you're situation got better or what but I just wanted to share that with you in case you were looking for something else. Hope you have a better day.
I stopped this medication after 4 weeks.
Everytime I would work out or play hockey, I was having cold sweats and faster heart rate. The weirdest were sexual side effects. I couldn’t get an erection properly and I had lower stomach pain during orgams... also, my sperm was fucking weird. The water and sperm were sepperated from each other.....
Jesse I’m on Dexedrine now and I fucking love it.
@@patbl61 could you explain more about your side effects I just got prescribed it but now I'm nervous about taking it
Nicholas Alonzo Dexedrine? Honestly, not any side effects so far. I’ve been taking it for 4-5 months now!
Jesus Christ man
Update. Loved Dexedrine too much and got addicted real bad. Stay naturak
Who else experienced abdominal pain and how long until it went away
The music! We have ADHD - please don't publish with music!
I feel in party
Can you do a video about Strattera and menopause? Also, alternatives for menopause. Thx!
I'm not sure what you're asking. Strattera is a Rx for ADHD, not menopause. Maybe if you elaborate on your question some more I can help.
I’m 31, I’ve been taking 40mg twice a day for 3 months and 25mg for the 3 months before. 6 months total. After 40mg and 3 months ED happened overnight. 2 times in one week last week. Not sure why it magically showed up. I’ve had zero side effects until now.
Cant believe anxiety is not on the side effects.
helped with my anxiety
How big was the control study vs the side effect numbers? typical doctor jumping to conclusions that make no sense "people are stupid so pharmaceuticals are totally safe and effective"
it makes me super sleepy which i don't understand
Me too, 60mg.
My son needs Strattera, unfortunately it is not available in Morocco.😥 The doctor told me that you can get it from outside the country. Can you help me please?
The placebo thing is both interesting and funny!
SSRI is nothing like an NDRI like Strattera. Completely different.
I took 40mg yesterday as my first time taking this drug and it completely knocked me on my bed, could hardly move with a bit of nausea and headaches. is it normal? now 12h later i feel just a bit weird but no more completely knocked 😕 .
My first day taking it was super rough too but I noticed I’m a bit better today and I’ll be on my third day of 40mg. Good luck to you!!
@@ohsobridgey Thank you very much, let's see how it goes. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia but my psy wants me to try this to be more efficient at work. It seems the medicine is also lowering a bit my anxiety, but flatten my emotions. Anyways, everyone is different, and all the best to you as well with the treatment !
@@ohsobridgey update
@@sahashil4135 I stopped taking it months ago, helped a little but made me more nauseated than anything
@@ohsobridgey only nausea are any other complications?
Dude I was throwing up violently my first day taking it. Couldn’t even keep water down.
After 3 days of taking 40mg i feel like im in a horrible fog and feel a jumpy and like im going crazy at times
Just took my first one
I just got prescribed it. Can you give me an update on your side effects and symptom changes? Thank you.
My son just tried vyvanse and he is also on Abilify. He is autistic and has depression the vyvanse made him angry and irritable so I took him off today. I am lost. Will strattera help him with adhd and his anxiety ?????
my doc told me methylphenidate (concerta) can cause depression, hence I got atomoxetine. Concerta is like milder vyvanse.
It very well might as structurally Strattera it has more in common with SSRI's used to treat mood disorders than the psychostimulants. But logic only gets you so far. There's no substitute for trial and error.
Can anyone tell me where are the solutions?
Why is this surgeon talking about starters? Does he give lobatomies?
Just got this prescribed. Doc not sure if I have ADHD, so I need a dx from psych to get Adderall. Also on fluoxetine and bupropion for ptsd. One side effect of ptsd is not being able to focus on tasks because your brain is tired from always being in fight or flight/hypervigilance. Been taking Strattera for 5 days now and don't notice any increase in ability to concentrate.
I just got prescribed. How do you feel?
@@-g.k.4389 Straterra didn't do anything for me and made me have ED. I'm on 20mg Adderrall now and it helps some. Cautious about increasing dosage because its addictive.
I understand you. I didn’t get any benefits while got a load of nasty side effects
I'll watch this if you ditch the background music. I mean, seriously?
Man they writeing with 2 hands is nuts. I take zeratera at 45mg and it was picked because I also take lithium for bipolar. No appetite and constipation are full effect also tiredness
what i seem to have is slight urinary hesitancy, and that's all :) alhamdulillah, thank God
DAMN THIS MUSIC SLAPS I CANT EVEN REMEMBER WHY I CLICKED ON THE VIDEO IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Everyone crying about the music lol. Use the pause button.. replay it.. do you want to know the information that has been collected for you or not?? If you can't handle this minor distraction how are you even surviving? I didn't know crying about accomodations was a symptom of ADHD but by the comments - it is. .....Turn on captions ....
that intro is absolutely assaulting holy shit
Music? Wow....
I don't know if I'm acting or if it's real, but I seem to have trouble breathing when I take it, and have a bit of wheezing? Also it feels like my chest is boiling? I'm starting at 25mg once a day, and then will be doing 25mg twice a day after 2 weeks.
Mu daughter has very high puls on all stimulants and on strattera, too.
The insomnia with Strattera is fricken horrible
I lost my period after a high dose. Completely messed up my cycle.
@Angel Sanchez Very delayed menses. 3 months after stopping 80mg cold turkey. Probably not the best idea. There is a video that explains that a study in mice showed epigenetic changes that don’t go away possible ever.
I get erectile disfunction when I am on 25mg or higher.
Being able to read the comments has gotten me through 80% of the video n I cant recall what he was saying but I dont have the patience to watch again because.. I already herd it. Kinda. You know??🤪
Is it possible to be prescribed Strattera and a psychostimulant or would they cause issues when both taken at the same time?
It is possible but would be a violation of Occam's razor i.e. a solution with the fewest steps/agents/hassle. Straterra was studied in combination with Ritalin and they played fine together.
The math is actually very very very wrong here. If 17% of the placebo group had that side effect it does not mean that it accounts for 17% of all of the group. I won't be watching more vids by this guy.
He’s saying that BOTH groups had 17% (per group), so the frequency is equal amongst groups, making neither have a statistical significance, so it truly isn’t a large risk.
Both hands! 😳😲 WOW!!!
How much is lethal? I’m definitely not asking out of suicidal thoughts
What about taking it with ability and venlafaxine I’m weening off ven starting with 40 mg straterra for dysthymia and bipolar 2 as well as ADHD
I haven't tested that particular stack so can't meaningfully weigh in on it.
Turn off the music thank you
I apologize Johan. I didn't realize how different it sounds reproduced on devices other than my own. I've quit adding any music to more recent vids.
Bloop Pressure !!! Jeez....155/95 !!!!! And I am usually 110-115 for upper!! Should I stop... here’s mine folks…58 yr old male, headache, sweating!!!, insomnia, harder to get a hard one,…
I feel like I’m about to die from taking this horrible drug… my headaches are getting worse and worse to the point I can barely move in bed without extreme pain and discomfort. Please do not take this
I’m not having a good experience with it so far either :/ just feeling so nauseous and it makes me kinda sweaty too
@@sarahdeatherage6021 I had COVID which made the problems a lot worse but after recovering and staying on the meds for a few weeks I’m not feeling any of the side effects anymore and my focus has improved a lot. If you experience bad symptoms after a couple weeks I’d recommend trying something else though
@@filltee if you feel better and you're still taking the meds, you should edit your original comment, so people don't get the wrong idea. Anyway, different people's bodies react differently.
I will start take it next week please any advice am 35 year
Can Erectile dysfunction because and teenagers taking this
Bruh i can't watch this. From the music to the ambidextrous writing to the insomnia 17% slice size i just can't
is this guy casually drawing and writing with both hands? what ??
Gave me impotence and im 22 and 6 months off and no improvement
Any improvement even now?
The adverse effect of concerta was that I would have premature ejaculation when I would go urinate.
Horrendous music. How about some silence for a change???
I apologize. All new vids in past year are music free.
The music makes me sick.
So why would a "tween" care about erectile dysfunction again? : /
I used Strattera for a couple years and it did help with my ADD, especially in school and at work (I was 55 yrs old). The only side effect I got was ED. My penis seemed to have shrunk during relaxation to about 1 1/2" to 2", usually I'm was 6 1/2". After stopping the use of Strattera and 5 yrs later, my penis size during relaxation is 3-4" and during erection about 5" It is extremely frustrating and there is not much I can do.
Did it got better now
@@vibhavmishra5233 Not at all
@Angel Sanchez Yes, but sometimes is like shooting blanks. Due to enlarged prostate, the semen is a lot less or nothing at all.
@Angel Sanchez trust me you won’t get anyone pregnant if you can’t even get it up bro. Even if you do have sex, to me at least i didn’t feel any enjoyment and that made me feel like I was dead. Sex is pointless if you can’t enjoy it.
My son needs Strattera, unfortunately it is not available in Morocco.😥 The doctor told me that you can get it from outside the country. Can you help me please?
Ed oh no i just started today, ill just start eating more bananas...
Bro is talking so slow and I’m on 2x speed💀
The music made it extremely difficult to watch this video, haven't started the medication yet so that doesn't help lmao
Does the ed go away when you stop?
Generally yes.
Stratera doesnt work on me as he educates us with statistics and a graph lol
The two hands is distracting to me and the music. my ADD is overloaded.
I took it first time today...so far I have ADHD, 23 M , I felt nauseous a little because I took it without much food, recommend taking it with carbs not with proteine or fats, because it will make you drained, dry mouth moderate level and I got ED...yeah erectyle dysfunction and drop of libido , but this is as long as I take the pill I had the same problem with escitalopram and my penis healed after 1 week of giving up on it, so I feel that strattera shouldn't be taken with a week before planning to have sex as a man
I can write with two hands too!!
It does matter!!! We are not just something to penetrate!
We will loose desire so where is the fun!
BLOOD PRESSURE UP!!!! UP big time!!
Wow. That music. Not only is it distracting, the tempo is anxiety inducing. Didn't make it 2 minutes in,. Byeeeee.
