[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 189494, member: 1498"] Has there been a change in his behavior since starting the medications, perhaps three month after starting Strattera? Strattera is in a class of drugs called SNRIs, (selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors). In some countries, SNRIs are approved for use as antidepressants. In the US, the only pure SNRI approved for sale is Strattera, which is approved for the treatment of ADHD. It is actually considered to be an antidepressant and comes with all the same warnings about suicidal thinking and changes in mood and behavior (aggression, hostility, etc) as all other antidepressants. Many parents have reported that while Strattera does help with focus at school, their child became so aggressive, hostile, "just plain nasty" that they were forced to discontinue it. The doctor should have told you to watch for these changes in behavior. [/QUOTE]
