Just started Strattera and have a weird side effect, could someone please advise?

Ok so I started on 25 mg Strattera. At first I felt a fast heart race, which is ok for me, but then I slept a whole lot. Today, however, I have this weird feeling in the back of my head. It feels like a weird buzzing sensation. What should I do? Is this normal? It feels very bizzare, as if the back of my head is vibrating.

I think maybe talk to your doctor. If it really bothers you, stop the med, it's up to you. My mother-in-law used to tell me she thought medication shouldn't make you feel bad, so she's thrown so many meds down the toilet because of side effects over the years.

It's funny, but she's in great health despite this in her later 70's....so I guess she didn't need those ADs, Lipitor, water diretics, thyroid meds, etc. etc. that she had been prescribed over time. Her latest checkup was perfect.
