Side effects on Strattera are definitely dose-dependent. At 25 mg I had some dryness of the skin and sun sensitivity which didn't bother me much, similar to what i have experienced on nortriptyline. And some unpleasantly 'wired' feelings after drinking caffeine. Ingesting caffeine caused a lot of muscular tension in my neck and back- are you taking any stimulants with the Strattera? It's strange, on nortriptyline I could drink all the coffee I wanted to- in fact, I HAD to, because nortriptyline didn't touch the core ADHD symptoms. It makes me suspect that Strattera's pharmacology is a little different than advertised. i'm not complaining about it- in fact it is boosting my performance tremendously at work and on my own academic projects, but it is curious that even adding a little Strattera to nortriptyline should have caused so much alertness and sensitivity to stimulants.
