Just started strattera, question about some side effects?

Hi everyone, I'm 23 and for the past year I've been having some focusing problems so my doctor started me out on strattera. This is my 2nd day taking it and i've been experiencing a lot of side effects already. So far it's been cold chills, nausea, drowsiness, severe dry mouth and it's even caused my penis to shrivel inward. The doctor said there are no side effects on this drug. How long can I expect these side effects to go on for and should I continue taking this medicine? It helps tremendously in improving my ability to focus better so thats not a problem. Are there any better alternatives out there also? Thanks in advance
