If I understand correctly: You are no longer on any psychiatric medications that would cause morning nausea. With that out-of-the-way i think we should take a look at the advil (ibuprofen) that you're taking that can cause nausea and stomach irritation and potentially loss of appetite. If you are concerned about this, i think it's worthy of a discussion with your family dr. Best wishes for a blessed holiday season.

Please clarify: If you're no longer on strattera (atomoxetine) and its been at least 3-4 days that you have taken it, i'd expect any effects to be gone by now. It's true that nausea can be a side effect, but there are ways to manage this to give strattera (atomoxetine) a good trial (start with the lowest dose, take with largest meal, stay on it 'til any se disappear, then increase grad and only as tolerated). Other reasons for am nausea?

ADHD MEDS:: There are different, stimulant and non-stimulant. If one is not helpful or has side effects, other one is prescribed.Talk to the prescribing physician to change your med. Starting dose usually should be low, then gradually titrated up as per need and tolerance. Usual side effects: loss of appetite and weight, sleep problem, some headache, etc. These resolves in 2-3 weeks.
