Before starting atomoxetine, it’s important to give your doctor a full picture of your health. Let them know if you have any heart conditions, high blood pressure, liver problems, or a history of mental health concerns like depression or suicidal thoughts. Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, or herbal products you’re taking.

Possible drug interactions include monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors, or MAOIs) such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and procarbazine. Atomoxetine should not be taken with MAOIs or within 14 days of stopping one.

Avoid drinking alcohol or using other stimulants while taking atomoxetine unless your doctor says it’s safe. The medication can cause dizziness, fatigue, or nausea, so be careful when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.

Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their doctor before starting treatment.

For adults, the maximum recommended dose is 100 mg per day. Your provider will adjust your dose carefully based on how you respond to treatment and any side effects you experience.

Taking more atomoxetine than prescribed can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, dizziness, heart rate changes, confusion, or fatigue. If an overdose occurs, seek medical attention immediately or call your local poison control center.

In addition to atomoxetine, several ADHD medications may be prescribed to address symptoms, including guanfacine ER, a long‑acting non‑stimulant that can help with attention and impulse control.

Non-stimulant medications work differently from stimulants and may be used when stimulants aren’t recommended. While Sesame providers do not prescribe controlled stimulant medications like Adderall online, they can offer alternative, non‑stimulant options when appropriate.

They may also propose additional online mental health services, including affordable psychiatry and therapy. These services make it easier to manage ADHD and other mental health conditions remotely.
