If you are living with ADHD, Strattera can help. Get a prescription for Strattera from an expert psychiatrist online.*
Our doctors provide effective treatment for ADHD through online medication prescriptions. Here’s what you can expect:
Strattera is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs). It works by increasing the levels of norepinephrine in the brain, a key chemical involved in attention and behavior regulation. Strattera is commonly prescribed for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
This medication offers an option for those who may not respond to or tolerate stimulant medications used for ADHD. From our experience, Strattera tends to have a lower side effect profile in comparison to stimulant medications. Strattera is also more widely available in pharmacies when compared to stimulant medications, because there is currently a significant shortage of stimulant medications in pharmacies throughout our country.
Strattera is FDA-approved for the treatment of ADHD, ensuring that it meets the safety and efficacy standards required for this purpose. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Strattera to achieve the best possible outcome and minimize potential side effects. Never stop taking Strattera abruptly; if you need to discontinue the medication, your doctor will provide a plan to taper off the dosage gradually.
Strattera has specifically FDA-approved for ADHD, but it can also be prescribed off-label for other conditions. If you have any questions about why a medication is prescribed, feel free to ask your online doctor. We at Reimagine encourage open discussion regarding treatment plans and want our patients to be well-informed.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Strattera (Atomoxetine) is approved to help increase attention and decrease impulsiveness and hyperactivity in patients with ADHD.
Strattera may be prescribed off-label to manage symptoms of anxiety disorders. By balancing norepinephrine levels, it can help reduce excessive worry and promote a sense of calm.
Strattera may be prescribed off-label to help manage symptoms of depression. It can assist in regulating mood by balancing norepinephrine levels in the brain.
Your psychiatrist will give you detailed instructions on how to take your Strattera prescription. You can also ask your pharmacist if you have further questions.
Be sure to read and follow the directions on your prescription label. If you have any questions, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Strattera is available in various dosages, usually prescribed to be taken once or twice daily. Your doctor will determine the best dosing schedule based on your specific needs.
Strattera may cause various side effects, most of which are generally mild and related to physical discomfort. Side effects include headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and sleep disturbances. Many side effects that appear when an individual first starts taking the medication often go away after the first two to three weeks. Some individuals may also experience tiredness, sexual dysfunction, changes in weight, or a faster heartbeat while taking Strattera.
Less frequently, more severe side effects can occur, although they are rare. These may include symptoms indicative of cardiovascular issues such as increased blood pressure or heart rate. It’s important to monitor these symptoms and speak with your healthcare provider if they arise.
Other less common but potentially severe side effects of Strattera might include liver damage symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes and dark urine. Always report any unusual or severe side effects to your doctor promptly.
If you experience any severe side effects or notice new or concerning symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention, including calling 911 if necessary. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about the side effects of Strattera.
Strattera may interact with other medications and supplements. Always consult your doctor before changing your medication regimen, including over-the-counter drugs.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before consuming alcohol while taking Strattera. Regular alcohol use may increase side effects and reduce the medication's effectiveness.
Do not take MAO inhibitors while using Strattera to avoid severe interactions. Inform your doctor of your medication history before starting Strattera.
