I was on strattera for 6 months and thats one of the things I liked most about the drug! I'm not saying I have weight problems becuase I dont, but I always ate compulsively!!!! Lucky for me I have a great metabolism! The one huge thing that i noticed was that I forgot to eat all the time!! there was no more eating Because I was bored, or stressed, or upset! I felt there was no need to compulsively eat after going on strattera! The only thing I would recomend to people on strattera would be to make sure they dont skip lots of meals becuase I found myself doing this and realized that it let to horrible moods in the late afternoon, and also me being tired. I'd say that this seems to be true in many people since ive been here reading all these posts for a while now! I'd also say that even adderoll was worse in the food catagory because on adderall when my short acting wears off I think I'm overly hungry sometimes. On strattera I could have probably skipped a few meals in a row with out really realizing it if Im busy enough. (but don't get any unhealthy ideas! lol) so goodluck!!
