I started taking Atomoxetine 80mg Capsules a few weeks ago for ADHD and so far, it's been a mixed bag. On one hand, I've noticed an improvement in my focus and ability to sit still, which is great. However, I've also been experiencing some side effects like difficulty sleeping, dizziness, and an upset stomach. I know these are listed as possible side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced these and if they went away over time. Also, what are your thoughts on the severity of the side effects? Are they worth it for the benefits? I’m really curious to hear others’ experiences, especially those that might have had a similar journey with this medication.

Great post! I've been thinking about trying Atomoxetine, but the side effects have been holding me back. Thanks for sharing your experiences—it's helpful to know I'm not alone in this.

I was really worried about the side effects too, but my doctor reassured me that they're pretty common and usually not serious. I’ve had some stomach issues, but they're manageable. The improvement in my focus has been worth it for me. Just make sure to keep an eye on any severe symptoms and talk to your doctor if they persist.

Just started Atomoxetine and I’m feeling some dizziness. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Hey, I had a similar experience. It's scary and frustrating, but I was able to manage it with my doctor adjusting the dosage. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned. No shame in it

I had a nasty side effect—a painful erection that lasted for hours. I had to go to the ER! That was scary. Be careful, but it hasn't happened since then, so it might have been a one-off
