Here is part of an article from Medscape
The FDA also advised that use of atomoxetine at usual doses can cause treatment-emergent psychotic/manic symptoms (eg, hallucinations, delusional thinking, and mania) in children and adolescents with no prior history of psychotic illness. Data from a pooled analysis of multiple short-term studies have revealed an increased incidence of these events in patients receiving atomoxetine for several weeks at usual doses, relative to placebo (0.2% vs 0%). A potential causal role for the drug should be considered in patients who develop symptoms of psychosis or mania, and discontinuation of therapy may be indicated.
