My teenage daughter started Strattera for her ADHD recently. She's always been a little overweight, and we were wondering if this medication might help with that. Does Strattera cause weight loss as a side effect for some people?

Yes, weight loss is actually a fairly common side effect of Strattera. My psychiatrist explained that atomoxetine can significantly suppress your appetite and cause mild nausea in the beginning. He advised me to eat small, nutrient-dense meals even if I don't feel hungry.

I was on Strattera for six months and lost about 5 kgs without even trying because food just didn't seem appealing anymore. I recently stopped the medication, and my normal appetite has slowly started coming back over the last few weeks.

I totally get it, losing weight suddenly can be really scary when you don't expect it. Strattera is known to reduce appetite, which often leads to weight loss. Just try to focus on eating healthy snacks like dry fruits or bananas to keep your energy levels up.

Yeah, it definitely does. I started Strattera last term and literally forgot to eat lunch most days because I just wasn't hungry. Dropped a couple of t-shirt sizes pretty fast. Just make sure you force yourself to eat something healthy.

Because of my thyroid fluctuations, my weight is always unstable, so I monitor any medication-induced weight loss very closely. Strattera can cause weight loss, but if you are losing weight too rapidly, please get your blood levels checked and consult your doctor.
