Advice & Tips
Caused severe heart burn. I normally have a strong enough stomach that nothing ever bothers me (spicy food, too much/too little fibre, bicycle parts), but if I took Strattera at something other then the EXACT right time relative to a meal, I got heart burn so severe that I considered calling 911.

Advice & Tips
To be honest, this medication was ok, but I didn't see how it benefitted me to be on it. It helped me slightly with add/adhd(I don't believe that I am add/adhd as much as I am bipolar II and these symptoms are a result of being hypomanic). Perhaps this would have worked better if I was truly add/adhd. When I came off of it, I noticed that it did affect my moods to a degree, and I would get bouts of depression. However that didn't last very long. The side affects were very mild compared to my other medications.
