Hello,
Attention is Atomixetine prescribed in ADHD. If the medication doesn't show it's therapeutic effects, dose is to be increased to 40mg once daily or in 2 divided doses. If there is no effect even with this dose, further increase is recommended. You just ask your prescribing physician once about dose increase. It takes 2 weeks at least to show it's therapeutic effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
