Call your doctor: Speak with the doctor who prescribed your medication. You shouldn't stop any meds cold-turkey without talking to your doctor first.

Two different views: There are two different views on this issue. One is the strattera (atomoxetine) can cause withdrawal symptoms and the other is that it cannot. Prudent tapering should be our response to this information. Abrupt stopping of most psychotropic medications is generally not a good idea.
