Damn brother, sorry to hear that. When I was on straterra I had some similar issues. Leaked semen, and a couple of times right after I started taking it there was blood in the semen (???). It was not a good medication for me, but many people do well on it.
Wishing you the best in finding something you replace it.
This was my experience with the generic atomoxetine as well, but without the blood which would definitely freak me out. That, wild constipation, heart palpitations, and somehow more brain fog. The dependency warnings with stimulants worries me, but I just started on 40 Vyvanse after testing 20. Fingers crossed.
