Problems with medication

Strattera (atomoxetine) is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It's usually the serotonin reuptake inhibitors that are associated with sexual side-effects, and a particular serotonin receptor is blamed, so it's interesting that this drug also produces sexual side-effects. As wikipedia puts it: "A significant minority of adult male patients taking Strattera suffer minor to severe sexual side effects, including erectile dysfunction, painful orgasm, and the decoupling of orgasm from ejaculation, wherein ejaculation takes place up to ten seconds before or after orgasm".
My feeling is that this isn't a great ADHD medication.

It was originally designed to be an antidepressant, didn't work well for that purpose, and was redeployed as an ADHD drug. I wonder about it also.
