Is coming off atomoxetine/strattera difficult?

ADHD Medication

I've tried both types of stimulants and they have not helped.

I'm nervous about trying atomoxetine because of the idea of coming off of it.

I take sertraline and find even a tiny reduction in dose causes extreme withdrawal Symptoms and a mental health crisis where I cannot function.

Where atomoxetine also builds up like sertraline I'm terrified I'll get stuck on it like I am sertraline even if it doesn't help.

Has anyone who gets strong ssri withdrawal come off atomoxetine? How has it been?

Thanks
