Recently I started atomoxetine 40mg after being diagnosed with ADHD. I'm having a few side effects. I've seen posts that I'm wondering if there's any other suggestions besides what's typically post. One, is it knocks my ass out for hours. Which is great because I'll start taking it at night in replace of my nightly nyquil, but I'm tired all day. Then I wake up, and my heart is pounding through my chest for a while. Eventually it goes away. The biggest problem is the constipation. I started miralax to help but I know it can take a few days. I'm trying to drink a lot of water. But I cannot increase my fiber intake. I have an extremely sensitive stomach and eating things with high fiber will quite literally put me in the hospital with the issues. I've experienced this before. I'm only on week one of the medication, so I'm wondering, has this gone away for people? And also, what have you done to help get rid of the constipation?

So let me start by saying i have adhd and impulse control. I'm starting medication and therapy to help with that. But I've also noticed when I'm stressed, or when I'm bored, I shop, not even necessarily for things I need. But I think I need them in that moment. I've tried to put them in your cart and wait, and that helped a little. But entirely, never having money, because I spend it all. Most of the time, a lot of my shopping addiction is ordering out for food. Instead of cooking, the food, I have home and meal prep doesn't work. What tips do you have to stop yourself from spending?
