What Are The Side Effects Of Atomoxetine?

I am a 61 year old female being treated for ADHD for the first time in my 61 years. I started taking 40 mg of Atomoxetine. I have no issues with my ADHD but started this RX 2 days ago to please my husband. Are there any serious issues I should consider before treating my ADHD with stimulants? My husbands main complains are my impulsive behavior and when I become angry after dealing with what I consider disrespect/inappropriate treatement. I do verbalize very angrily my pain and hurt feelings when this happens.
