Strattera is ICKY!!!!!!!

View More Posts Ignore
So I went to my normal doc to discuss temporary treatment for the ADHD and Anxiety until I get diagnosed. She called my psych and he said the anxiety could be a symptom of ADHD and to try me on Strattera. She said if it doesnt help me, to call tomorrow and she will try me on something else and klonopin.

The strattera (25mg) made me sicker than a dog!! I refuse to take anything else!! So will the other meds make me sick like this too? My stomach aches badley (and yes I ate) and I feel as though if I dont sit still I will vomit. I hope there is a medication out there that does not do this to me.
Anyone else?
