I've been struggling with adult ADHD symptoms and have just started taking Atomoxetine 60mg capsules. I've heard mixed reviews on its effectiveness and am curious how it's worked for others. I've noticed it takes a while to kick in, which is what I've been told is normal, but I’m wondering if it's worth the wait. Are there any tips or tricks anyone has to maximize its benefits? Also, how does the dosage work? Can it be adjusted based on how well you respond? Has anyone had any adverse reactions? I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts.

I wish they'd been more upfront about the sexual side effects. It's really made me feel uncomfortable. I love the medication but not feeling like yourself in the bedroom is tough.

I think Atomoxetine is a life saver, but it also doesn't work for everyone. I'm curious about how long it takes for most people to see results. I'm on week 3 and still don't feel much of a change.

I've been on Atomoxetine for about six months now, and it's been a game-changer for me. I started with 60mg and have since increased to 80mg. It took a few weeks to feel the full effects, but now I'm able to focus better and my impulsivity has decreased significantly. The side effects, like dry mouth and difficulty sleeping, were rough at first, but I found ways to manage them.

Totally agree with the focus part, Atomoxetine has been really helpful with that for me. I felt like I could actually start and finish tasks for the first time in ages. Just remember everyone is different so it might work differently for me than for you.

I gave up on Atomoxetine because of the constipation. I tried everything, but nothing helped. It’s a rare issue but one worth knowing about.

I was really nervous about trying Atomoxetine because of the potential side effects, especially the severe ones. However, I talked to my doctor extensively about my concerns and he reassured me that the severe side effects are very rare. I've been taking it for about a month now and so far, so good! I’ve noticed a slight improvement in my focus but really hoping it sticks around!
