While I was traveling last week I had the nausea side-effect mostly because of rushing to my connection and not having much to eat. Then again the next day and when zip-lining... later that day I got sick on a sail boat even when I hardly ever get seasick.

Seeing how I'm a fairly active person most of the year plus I would like to learn how to sail this summer maybe, I'm a little worried! I use to be a runner and would like to start trying to be in a bit more peck condition to train to run in a Marathon... which I've been saying for years LOL. Just to give you a bit of an idea what kind of condition I am in now. It's been years since I've seriously done any running. Yet, two years ago I started running with a club twice a week. Ran two races after training for a few months. On was a 10K where I had a personal goal of getting somewhere close to my old PR which was 45 minutes and 20 years before, I did it in 56 minutes. Same for a 5K where my PR had been 21:06.21 and 19 years later ran it around 28 minutes and that was where I began when I started running in 5K races at 15. I've stayed in pretty good shape over the years because I ride bikes, rollerblade and just don't slow down much when the weather warms up here.

So, if it's the activeness that is the cause of the nausea it would be a very problematic side-effect. I've had it here an there while getting started on Strattera and I would just eat bigger breakfasts. It helps if I eat oatmeal, toast with eggs or just eggs... so maybe I just need to change my diet?

I'm a busy person so Strattera is actually a perfect drug for me. I don't have to carry it with me just incase I need it. I don't have to watch my moods and so on. So, I really want it to work but wondering which side-effects are going to hang around or do some just get better as I'm on it longer?

I didn't ever have the nausea on strattera so I'm not sure. My guess is that with increased activity, it raises your blood pressure and that's what's causing the nausea. I did have some other side effects with strattera that lasted for months until they abided. Hang in there! In the meantime, stay hydrated, make sure you're eating healthy (balance your diet with lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and go easy on the sodium and processed foods with lots of sugar), and getting enough sleep. Those can all play a factor in overall feeling.

I just found out that it wasn't side-effects... I'm pregnant. 5-6 weeks by the looks of it too.
