how does Strattera compare to sexual and weight gain side effects?

I didn't have much luck with Strattera.  I took it for ADD and it didn't help, and had awful sexual SE's that are too graphic for this board.  Apparently these SE's are worse for men than for women.  As for weight gain I'm not sure if it has an effect either way.  Anyway, I quickly stopped taking it and the SE's went away just as quickly.

I just started Strattera two days ago ... so I am a newbie! :;):

It makes me nauseous so I don't want to eat so I will probably lose weight. Weight lose is listed as one of the side effects.

It is also making me very tired. So far I am not enjoying this med. I am taking it for depression and not ADD.

Peace.

I told another lie today
And i got through this day
No one saw through my games
I know the right words to say
Like "i don't feel well," "i ate before i came"
Then someone tells me how good i look
And for a moment, for a moment i am happy
But when i'm alone, no one hears me cry

No more Strattera for me! no.gif

I stuck it out for 10 days but the side effects did not abate. I know 10 days isn't much of a trial, but I was starting to throw up and it was making so sleep_1.gif

I'm not trying anything else as I have tried everything at this point. I feel so hopeless. I know meds aren't going to cure my depression but I need something to lift me up enough so I can help myself. I don't think that's ever going to happen. cry.gif

Guess I am just stuck with myself.  :sadwalk: I hate myself so it's going to be hard.
