Strattera (atomoxetine): With proper dosing over 2-3 weeks, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to see full effects.

Weeks: The answer is a bit vague, because patients often start deliberately on lower-than-needed dosages to minimize side effects. The "clock starts ticking" when you get to a therapeutic dose, which can vary from person to person but usually is in the range of 1.2-1.4 mg/kg/day. Then, it can take 2-4 weeks to start showing benefit, with continued enhanced benefits potentially up to 6 months.

Atomoxetine: Although you may start to appreciate some benefits of taking Atomoxetine within a few weeks, it may take 4 to 8 weeks to get the maximum benefit on the appropriate dose.
