> I have been taking Straterra for depressive sx for a week and a half starting on 18mg for 4 days and now on 25 mg, gradually increasing to 40-60mg. My biggest problem is that I have been feeling dizzy the last four days and I am wondering how long it takes for this effect to go away or if it doesn't.

Hi:
I started at 40mgs. and then after 4 days increased to 80 mgs. of Strattera. In the beginning I had the dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, scalp itch, loss of appetite. I found that around week 5 or 6 that those problems improved and now I don't struggle from any of them at 3 1/2 months on the medication. I know it's hard to suffer through them in the beginning, but just be patient. It also took me about a month to start seeing improvements with my ADD, and mood. Some people report that they get a quick response from the medication, but for me it took time.
