Hi doctor,
I was suspected to have adult ADHD. I am continuing Atomoxetine HCL for almost a year and my current dosage 60 mg/day. I observed significant improvement in concentration and reduced distraction. Is there any long term side effect of this drug?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) medicine.
- The drug is safe to use even in children and there are no serious permanent side effects of the drug even on prolonged use.
- Your dose is very high. If you are seeing improvement, then you can discuss with your doctor to reduce the dose of the drug and to maintain on a relatively low dose.
For further information consult a psychiatrist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/psychiatrist
