Are jitters and sweating side effects of Strattera?

For information, please review the comments from contributors of WikiAnswers. Also, feel free to look over the Related Links (At the bottom of the page) for extra information When I started taking 40 mgs, I was the total opposite, I wanted to sleep all the time. But, I had the jitters when I wasn't tired.

These sysmptoms wore off about 2 weeks for me My 15 year old son was on Strattera for about 6 weeks. While on it, I noticed that he would sweat excessively with extertion, and seemed more irritable, edgy and moody I take 80mg of strattera. I began on 40mg then was increased to 80mg after 4 days.

For the first 6 months I would go to sleep ok but I was unable to stay asleep. I would wake two or three times at night and would sometimes not be able to fall back to sleep for an hour or sometimes longer. Now I have been on strattera for almost a year and I am sleeping better.At times I will wake maybe once, but am able to easily go back to sleep I've been on Strattera for 6 weeks, and yes, nightsweats and excessive sweating occurs Jitters, it doesn't do that for me, although I do have more difficulty staying asleep.

I now wake up at least 7 or 8 times a night, instead of once a night at 3 a.m. , when I used to wake up and worry about all the problems I had. But with the Strattera, I don't worry at night any more I would be drenched with sweat when taking straterra.

Was taking it for five months. Stopped for two days and no longer have the sweating problem. Worked great at first, but seems to have stopped working I have a 6 year old son who started out on 25 mg of strattera and has been taking 40 mg for about 3 weeks now.

I'm not sure if he has adhd or not, but this is what his therapist put him on. My husband and I have noticed his hands tremble all the time and he sweats really bad. He always goes straight to sleep, but sleeps very restless.

I hope they can figure out a medicine that works for him soon Yea, the sweating has not been totally fun. I'd be curious to see how many people have the similar issue, but after viewing the trials, 4% experienced excessive sweating and only 1% did in the placebo. But I'll take the sweating to the more focus and weight loss I have experienced.

Any one know of a strong antiperspirant? Yes! I've never before been like this - constantly hot, sweat a lot easier, hot flashes (I'm only in my 20's).

As far asjitters,I don't get those ,(like when I tried Concerta or Adderall). But if you mean legjerking, muscle tics, etc.Yeah I do. I'm also on Zoloft 200mg/day, which in itself causes involuntary stuff like that (you feel it but people don't notice), but this made those worsen a bit.

Kinda funny though, not a problem!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
