    Atomoxetine (straterra) is a slow burn. It takes at least a few weeks to start noticing any effects. I haven’t noticed any side effects, other than some trouble sleeping the first week when I first started taking it; but that was because my insurance wouldn’t approve me for a lower dosage to have a more graceful “ramp up” period.
