Good benefits of strattera:
all day relief from symptoms of ADD or ADHD
doesn't cause insomnia
beneficial for those whose ADD/ADHD is accompanied by anxiety
symptoms actually improve
no potential of abuse
it is not a stimulant
order can be phoned in
Bad effects - most will experience no bad effects at all but others may have:
weight loss
sexual issues
rapid heart rate
fainting
trouble urinating
Often, these will pass as you adjust to the medication.
In rare instances, serious bad effects:
chest pain
headache
confusion
visual issues
slurred speech
jaundice
stomach pain
These should be immediately reported to the doctor.
Do not take this medication on an empty stomach as it can make you feel very sick to your stomach!
To the best of my knowledge, there is no problem taking strattera with tramadol or restoril but, hopefully, you were smart enough to tell your doctor all the medications you take. Doctors are very careful not to order medications that can't be used together. If you did not tell your doctor, then I suggest you notify him or call your pharmacy before taking all three of these together.
