Are these....: ...Side effects to the strattera (atomoxetine) or what you were experiencing before you even started it? What were your directions? Are you supposed to keep on increasing your dose or stay on the 40? If the daytime drowsiness is from the strattera (atomoxetine), you can take it in the evening or at bedtime. See if that allows you to give it more of a chance or to increase the dose. It can take time for strattera (atomoxetine) to work.

Should resolve : with time or you can try taking around dinner time and see if that helps.
