I took Strattera for a year and discontinued it abruptly. There was no withdrawal.
Much of the research in the period since Strattera's release has focused not on Strattera's efficacy, but on its lack of abuse potential relative to stimulants. Numerous experiments have confirmed that monkeys are reluctant to intra-cranially inject themselves with atomoxetine, in contrast to Ritalin or Adderall.
You don't have to take a drug that is prescribed for you, or even fill the prescription. But I have never heard of a health plan telling their doctors what they can or cannot prescribe.
