Can I take 60 and Atomoxetine together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and atomoxetine affect the central nervous system. Alcohol is a depressant, while atomoxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used for ADHD. Combining them can lead to unpredictable changes in brain chemistry, potentially increasing the sedative effects of alcohol or the cardiovascular side effects (like increased heart rate) of the medication.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking atomoxetine. If you do choose to drink, do so very cautiously and in small amounts to see how the combination affects you. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy. If you experience a rapid heartbeat, chest pain, or severe dizziness, contact your doctor immediately.
