Interesting -- I started Strattera last week, and 25 mg immediately made me feel calmer and more focused. Since going up to 40 mg, I've noticed mild stiffness in my neck and shoulders. I used to get this from tension, and it disappeared with Klonopin. I'm still on that, but I wonder if the Strattera is causing this?
I also feel a bit sick to my stomach and my eyes and mouth are dry. None of these side effects are really pronounced, but I'm quite sure they're from the Strattera, since these aren't things I normally experience.
I'm hoping these will subside, since this seems like a good med otherwise. And maybe 25 mg is enough? I'm going to stay at 40 mg for a while to see if the side effects diminish. They're not debilitating, just annoying, but I'm hesitant to go up any more at this point.
