My heart rate has jumped as well. When I was working out the other day the machine started yelling at me b/c my heart rate was so high. Is this dangerous at all? Should I be working out less b/c of it?

I have only been on Strattera for three days. Everyone is touting it as a non-stimulant , so far its effects dont seem much different that adderal or other stimulant meds. It definitley helps me focus and concentrate but along with it comes increased heart rate, and appetite suppression.

I am a 47 yr old woman, who was RX'd Strattera about 4 months ago......worked fine until about 4 weeks ago.....my blood pressure has jumped, my pulse faster than ever, constant upset stomach, dizzy spells with increasing frequency, insomnia, daily abdominal cramping......will be discontinuing today, as I cannot tolerate this and am concerned about the heart symptoms....and the dizziness is becoming alot worse, a daily thing that causes the room to spin-----and incapacitates me. In my line of employment, this could be dangerous for myself and others...it's gotta go !

I am 49 year old and very physically active male. I do long distance road riding on a bike. The increase in heart rate has diminished my stamina. I am on 80mg of Strattera and will reduce it to 60mg to see if that makes an improvement.

I am only 21 years old, and am actually concerned about my health because of how much Strattera has increased my heart rate. I cannot discontinue it because I need to concentrate for college, yet just a fe wdays ago I went to give blood and was denied as my heart rate was 120 bpm.

I suggest talking to your doctor, as I will
