[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 130435, member: 1233"] My difficult child has been on it for a number of years. You can bet if it wasn't working he wouldn't be on it. It takes several weeks (felt like years, LOL!) once you get to a therapeautic dose to see if it will work. If it doesn't, it takes quite a while to come off of it (I think docs take you off this type of medication too quickly. You can come off of stimulants very quickly, but it can take weeks or months to come off of this, just like some of the anti-depressants). The person taking it does have to exert some self-control, work with the medicine. The medication won't do it all. And that is hard for some to see. Interestingly, after hearing that my son was doing well on Strattera, my bro was put on it for ADHD. It helps him quite a lot also. It is really hard to wait to see if these medications will help.
