[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 224837, member: 2423"] Marg, you may already know this, but Strattera is an antidepressant, not a stimulant. It can have the same side effects as any other AD, including anger, mood swings and aggression. Furthermore, the reaction could have been from combining the two medications. by the way, our docs have repeatedly told us that clinical studies show Strattera only works for 40 percent of kids with ADHD. Not a great track record. If he's sleeping, don't wake him (you know the adage, "Let a sleeping baby lie.") Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but in your shoes, I wouldn't give him another dose until you are able to talk to or have a doctor evaluate difficult child 3. Since he's only taken it for 4 days, it hasn't had a chance to build up significantly in his blood stream, which means he is not at great risk for AD withdrawal syndrome. Please update us when you can. [/QUOTE]
