The dizziness will last for a while (weeks), but will go away.
Sleep is weird, I have my own theory (not backed up by any data) that says that people with ADHD do better taking it in the AM, and people with depression do better taking it in the evening.
My personal opinion is that 40mg is a lot to start with. If the side effects are unbearable, try decreasing to 18 or 25mg until the side effects mostly go away, then you can increase back up to 40mg until that feels comfortable, etc. (with your doctor's approval, of course).
I found that Ginger capsules (550mg worked for me) worked really well on the nausea. You can find it in a health food store.
What is your diagnosis? What else are you taking? Strattera takes a little patience, but I really like it (I take it for depression).
