Strattera effects for me, as of 4/15/10
I've been on 40 mg tabs since the first of this year. I was put on Strattera for the same reason as the person who posted "Strattera Side Effects Leaking Semen not Risky". I have ADD. Though, no, I don't have the hyperactive tendencies. I have just always hit a wall with long term employment the moment I learn how to do the job. I feel done and start having trouble getting myself to stick to the job. I experience conflicting ideas within that prevent me from acting in a consistent manner. I often get fired for my inconsistency or I quit.
The first day on the medication I experienced an unexpected ejaculation immediately after defecation. However, I DID experience a very weak orgasm with it. The strangest part is that it occurred while my penis was all shrunk up to its most minimal size, and my sack was pulled up tight against my body as well. Two days later, it happened again. So, believing that the medication may have shrank my storage capacity for sperm, as if it was excreting excess, I tried to circumvent the issue through masturbation. The orgasm was different from what I was used to, it was far more intense. It felt like it did when I was a kid. Yet, despite my attempt to avoid the unexpected and awkward ejaculations, it happened again two days after the second unexpected occurrence, and this time it followed a visit involving urination only. At that point, I was sure that it was just a medicinal interaction with my body that was directly related; When I took the medication, that day, or the day following I thought I could expect one to happen no matter what else I do, kind of like it caused blue balls. The regularity of it declined over time though. After hearing how working out or lifting a large object can alleviate blue balls I started to exercise more often. One day in March I got done climbing four flights of stairs and had to use the bathroom. Despite the physical activity, it brought about TWO ejaculations following urination. The leakage continues to pop up sporadically no matter what.
The main affects of the medication are valuable trade offs. It does seem to help me function without so much internal conflict. My wife says that I'm nicer on it. I am more productive in attending to chores around the house and workplace. I even speed less when I'm driving. I choose to cope with the awkward issue because; One, I actually kind of like the unexpected surprise; and, two, I REALLY don't do well with stimulants. They make me homicidal, and I don't really want to hurt anyone. I avoid caffeine because I feel like the Hulk; for the next 24 hours I'm ready to smash anyone that gets in my way. I scare myself and others. So, due to my sensitivity to stimulants I feel like this is the best alternative so far. Wish me luck and good luck to you if you are experiencing any sexual side effects.
