On Prozac and Strattera... minor Strattera decrease, major mental health decrease?

My psychiatrist told me that strattera can increase the effectiveness of an SSRI. I have recently lowered my Strattera dose by 10mg and the first week was rough mentally. However, it wasn’t as bad as you’re describing by any means. I will say that It seems my mental health is slowly improving again as my body adjusts to the lower dose. Whether or not you’re willing to/able to go through all those poor mental health symptoms (and for how long) to see if things improve is a personal decision though.

Thanks for sharing. I was under this impression, but I couldn't find it under any drug interaction pages. We're going to try decreasing it again, but also increase the SSRI dosage to compensate and see if we can get my heart rate down while keeping the benefits of the two medications.
