Hi, I just wanted to add my experience with Strattera and the whole eating thing, maybe it will help....I can totally understand what your going through. I have been on Strattera for 3 weeks now and I started off with 40mg once a day. I had the cravings so bad for fried greasy food I swear I would start to practically drool thinking about it...(I know, gross). I was not prepared for that side effect at all. I continued anyway and after 7 days on 40mg I went up to 80mg...the food cravings have completely subsided, and I don't have much interest in food at all actually...which is not common for me in general. However, I did get extremely irritable and moody and I seriously thought I was going to physically hurt my husband. That has also passed. As a whole Strattera has had the least amount of side effects so far than any other med I have been on. I feel good enough about it to stick it out and see what happens. I hope I could help. Good Luck
