Strattera (atomoxetine): Strattera (atomoxetine) is not used for weight loss. It treats adhd and one part of adhd is impulsiveness. Often people who are on adhd meds will lose weight because the impulsive urge to eat more than needed is suppressed and they seem to have more "will power". The problem is that when the meds wear off the impulsiveness comes right back!
