im having sleepyness,depression,headaches,dialated pupils,loss of appetite/weight (im not 100% but i think i've lost 10 lbs or more), nausea (on top of that RLS bothering me)

do you believe these are good enough reasons to stop taking this medicine?

i feel that i have given this medicine a fair trial and dont want to deal with these side effects anymore

will stimulants react with me the same way?

i've been trying to talk to my doctor about these side effects but i've left a msg and still no call back

True stimulants are nothing like Strattera. My old doc refused to prescribe Strattera because of the severe side effects and moderate positive effects. I'm sure other doctors think it's a great med, but he was my best doc and I really trusted him.
Thanks for this!

That would be enough negative effects for me. I'd at least try to call again. You at least deserve a call back.
