Why does all my food taste funny while taking atomoxetine?
Hello, everyone.
I started Strattera for ADHD in March this year. I changed my breakfast 4 or 5 times already since then, because I can't stand its flavour after some period of time. Sometimes because of that bitter feeling that atomoxetine causes, and sometimes because of breakfast doesn't taste good. Now I'm taking peanut butter jelly sandwiches, which hides that bitter taste of atomoxetine... but peanut butter gives me an awful taste and feeling afterwards, despite the fact that I like peanuts.
I'm tired of this, and I don't know what else I should do. I tried drinking orange juice, I tried drinking milk with biscuits, I tried cheese and ham sandwiches, and now this.
Does anyone suffer from the same thing?
UPDATE: Apparently there is something I missed when I read the instructions. Atomoxetine can cause dysgeusia between 1% and 10% of patients. I'm doomed.
