Strattera (atomoxetine): Any drug can be abused, but no, it has no reinforcing qualities that controlled drugs have. There is no euphoric or acute mood elevating effect. Unlike many of the meds for add, it's not a direct psychostimulant

Quite unlikely: Strattera (atomoxetine) is an antidepressant, not a stimulant, and it does not produce a "high." drugs with abuse potential typically have a quick absorbtion rate with a rapid positive feeling such as elation that wears off fairly quickly and requires higher and higher doses over time to acheive the same result. Stattera has none of those propertieS.S.
