What is Atomoxetine used for?

Strattera is prescribed to help reduce symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is often used when stimulant medications are not suitable or effective. Atomoxetine is also sometimes used off-label for anxiety disorders, though this is determined by a healthcare provider.

Users may notice gradual improvements in concentration, organization, and emotional regulation over several weeks. Some individuals report reduced impulsivity and better task completion, though effects vary by person.

What does Atomoxetine interact with?
