Strattera / Atomoxetin?

Läste något om att denna är en av de mediciner som likt concerta och amfetamin skrivs ut till adhd-barn, är detta en centralstimulantia? Tycker man inte har hört nånting om denna substans.

Men vilken effekt har det på det klientel som använder det då?

Lilly Laboratory Labeling Codes:

Primary Physical and Health Hazards: Not hazardous if intact. Corrosive (eyes). Nervous System and Heart Effects.

Caution Statement: Intact Atomoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets and Capsules are not considered to be a health hazard. The contents of Atomoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets and Capsules may cause burns or permanent tissue damage to the eyes. Effects of exposure may include tremors, nervousness, anxiety, nausea, headache, change in blood pressure, and increased heart rate.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation and skin contact.

Effects of Overexposure: Tablets and capsules are intended for human consumption under guidance of a physician. Based on animal/clinical data, atomoxetine hydrochloride may be harmful if ingested, may be fatal if inhaled, may cause burns or permanent tissue damage to the eyes, and is not expected to be irritating to the skin. Effects of overexposure to atomoxetine hydrochloride may include gastrointestinal effects (nausea, vomiting), fatigue, decreased appetite, dizziness, mood swings, insomnia, and increased blood pressure and heart rate. Rare cases of liver toxicity have been reported. Animal studies with atomoxetine hydrochloride have reported liver effects, dilated pupils, and tremors.



Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for 15 minutes. See an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) or other physician immediately. Immediate rinsing may prevent permanent damage.

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and clean before reuse. Wash all exposed areas of skin with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air. Get medical attention if breathing difficulty occurs. If not breathing, provide artificial respiration assistance (mouth-to-mouth) and call a physician immediately.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center. If available, administer activated charcoal (6-8 heaping teaspoons) with two to three glasses of water. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediately transport to a medical care facility and see a physician.

Notes to Physician:
Atomoxetine - An airway should be established. Monitoring of cardiac and vital signs is recommended, along with appropriate symptomatic and supportive measures. Gastric lavage may be indicated if performed soon after ingestion. Because atomoxetine is highly protein-bound, dialysis is not likely to be useful in the treatment of overdose.

det där med tunnelseende, är det nåt i stil med snöa-in-effekten som man får av centralstimulanter, dvs att man fastnar i en viss grej och sitter och håller på med bara det och glömmer allt annat?

det är en ganska behaglig effekt. om det nu är nåt sånt som du menar.

jag tänker ju att strattera borde ge någon form av effekt som på något vis liknar de effekter som centralstimulanterna ger. om de nu används till samma klientel

Unmedicated:
"oh no, I'm due but can't go tomorrow or the day after. I'll have to find someone to pick me up. What if I can't get a ride and I miss that meeting? Crap, maybe I should go next week, but I have a roadtrip this weekend and will put 1000 miles on it. NOOOOoo my warranty will be voided! They're going to say I don't take good care of my car! I'm going to have to prove to them that I do. So that means I'll have to fetch my old car care receipts. Where are those anyway? Some of them are in the glove box, some in my filing cabinet, some in the letter tray and some god knows where. How will I ever be able to sell my car without proof of maintenance? Did I just lose thousands in resale value? F*** if only I could just be more organized! It's not hard, what the hell is wrong with me. "

On Strattera:
Okay, oil change tomorrow morning and I'll just get to work late.

I'd rather not care. Caring sucks.

Stackars adhd-ungar. Är det sånt här rädslan mot medicinering med amfetamin för med sig - värdelösa mediciner som knockar dom i skallen med trubbiga medel? Allt är tydligen bättre än beprövad centralstimulantia..
