[QUOTE="branbran, post: 48352, member: 3762"] Smallworld, You are so right, it just dawned on me, my nephew took strattera for a few months for his ADHD and he was very irritable and down right nasty!!! I forgot all about that until you mentioned it. So thank you. When the doctor calls me back, I'm going to tell her I want my difficult child to start the new mood stablilizer alone, no other drugs. Wait a few weeks and see if it makes a difference. If she takes the Strattera and it gives her the same effect as the Concerta - how the heck are we going to know if the mood stabilizer is working? I do have the book "The Bi-Polar Child", and just took it out and read chapter 4. I have referred to this book as my Bible for the past 3 years. I knew about the effects of the stimulants, but was unsure about the Strattera as it is a non-stimulant. I'm so glad you mentioned the meanness from the Strattera, you saved my poor difficult child from more irritability. THANK YOU!!!!! [/QUOTE]
