[QUOTE="Steely, post: 635693, member: 3301"] I have lots of thoughts on this - but the main thing to remember is that Strattera is not just approved for ADHD but it is also an SSRI. SSRI's can produce aggressive behavior, as can Stimulants for ADHD like Ritalin. But they are in 2 completely different categories. SSRI's for children can cause a lot of side effects. In the US, they are prescribed with a lot of warnings. Unfortunately far too many stims are prescribed in the US without any warnings. Just be aware that he is trialing an SSRI that can also be used as an ADHD medication. It is a dual medication, that affects the brain quite differently than a stimulant. [/QUOTE]
