Recently diagnosed with ADHD & was prescribed 25mg stratterra. Been dealing with nausea & bitter tongue during my 1st week. Does it go away on its own or does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Eating before strattera really helps if you haven’t already - also I think fattier food helps (not sure if this is scientifically proven but just how I feel).

That said, when I first started going on it, I also had problems with those side effects - now that I’m about a year in, I rarely get nauseous even if I don’t eat breakfast.

The only time it troubles me now is actually when I forget to take a dose..in which case, several hours later I’d start getting headaches and get super drowsy and a little nauseous.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you for the detailed response. How and when did you know it was actually working?

Are you eating food with your doses? Avoiding citrus? This hasn't been my experience as I'm 30 days in but I do get really sleepy. There are other side affects. I'd recommend checking the adhd Reddit for other's experiences.

Need to check with my doctor on sideeffects with caffeine. I like to have a cup in the morning but since starting it don't feel the need for it.

I have heard many bad reviews of Strattera from others and didn’t have a good experience on it either. Stimulants much more effective and straightforward IMO.
