Also, he suggested putting her on Strattera. Does anyone have any info on this drug? Is switching the best option? ↑ |

Yes my son. Strattera helps with mood. It is made up of the same drug properties as antidepressants. It helps my son on the stimulant hand over that occures with stimulant drugs. also it takes a while to get it into the system so you wont see improvement right off the bat. ↑ |

My daughter is on concerta and we just upped the dose and she developed a coughing "tic"...it would keep her up when she already is a lousy sleeper...my girlfriend's daughter is on Strattera and loves it. Although you have to build it up in their system and if you miss a dose, you start at the lowest dose and again and build up. That's as much as I know. I'm looking into that instead of refilling her Concerta. ↑ |

My daughter has been on Strattera for a little over a year now and so far no side effects. She did have some stomchaches the first two weeks but not everyday and since then no problems at all. This is a 24 hour non-stimulant medication that doesn't effect their eating or sleeping habits and I have seen great improvements in her school work. Hope this helps you some. Good luck. ↑ |
