This comment needs to be higher. Atomoxetine is also known as Strattera and is prescribed for ADHD.

I tried it for less than a week and had to stop because there were VERY painful side effects _down there_.

I’m also a CPAP user and I’d 100% keep using it rather than go back on atomoxetine.

Same!

I have no idea what HN's tolerance is for the relevant medical language, so I'll put it like this: when I was on atomoxetine and after engaging in ahem activities, my pelvic floor muscle would stay contracted for something like 10 minutes. Not only was it super painful but it also made it so that I couldn't urinate at all until those 10 minutes had passed.

It was the weirdest thing.
