Talk:Atomoxetine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can someone point out when and how it became available in generic forms? As far as I know, Strattera is pretty new and won't be available generically for years.
I believe drug patents last for fifteen years in the U.S. and Canada. Marketresearch.com lists the patent expiry date as 2015.

I have updated the page with accurate information. Currently the only generic manufacturered is outside of the United States in India by a company called Torrent Pharmaceuticals.
Why does it say that strattera can exacerbate anxiety disorders? One of the off-label uses is in the treatment of these disorders.
- It is theorized that an excess of norepinepherine can be a cause of certain types of anxiety. But as with all psychotropic drugs, treatment is highly individualized, as what may work wonders for one person's condition may make another person with the same condition worse. --Prisonnet 03:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm having a pretty horrible experience on this medication. I really do hope it's helping some people but genuinly pity the folks who are having the same experience as I. I am consulting with my family doctor on discontinuing use this Monday... Thank-you to those who have updated this page, it has been very helpful. --Wootabega 12:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I had to pay $125 (with insurance) on a month supply of this. I have been on the medication for a month now and don't see any significant results.Mdriver1981 22:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I have been on this Strattera for 2 weeks now and the effect on my ADD is remarkable... now the bad part... I am experiencing some sexual side effects (ED), while this is bad, I would like to know if anyone has tried or has been prescribed Viagra (or like drug) to offset this? I really like the improvement in my focus and mental state, but I'm not sure I can live with the only side effect I am experiencing in the long term...
