Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 61 year old female being treated for ADHD for the first time in my 61 years. I started taking 40 mg of Atomoxetine. I have no issues with my ADHD but started this RX 2 days ago to please my husband. Are there any serious issues I should consider before treating my ADHD with stimulants? My husbands main complains are my impulsive behavior and when I become angry after dealing with what I consider disrespect/inappropriate treatement. I do verbalize very angrily my pain and hurt feelings when this happens.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No need to worry for major side effects with Atomoxetin. It safe and having least side effects. It is good treatment for ADHD. Along with Atomoxetin, you should also start behavioral therapy and counseling sessions for anger management by psychotherapist. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
