Hello, after using atomoxetine for a few months, if it really helps with adhd symptoms. Will the benefits last long even suppose after quitting the medicine. I heard the benefits of increased attention and reduced impulsivity will last long even after stopping atomoxetine. Is it a fact?

Hi lybrate-user, no the benefits usually doesnt last long only with medicines. You need to add to it certain exercises to inc attention, the effects of which will last longer, probably life long.

The benefits of adhd medications last as long as they are taken. So do not expect long time benefits. However as people age, the symptoms reduce in many. Good luck.

Effects are till you take medicine but with age there is gradual decline in adhd symptoms. And medicine helps with precious years of schooling and improves performance.
