[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 299760, member: 2423"] A few things you need to know about Strattera: Even though it is prescribed for ADHD, it is an antidepressant, not the typical stimulant used for ADHD. It has only about a 40 percent efficacy rate for people who truly do have ADHD. Side effects include anger and irritabilility, even if you do have ADHD. So . . . even if this person is acting worse on Strattera, it doesn't necessarily say all that much about the diagnosis. It does say something about how Strattera is affecting this person. The best bet is for this person to see a psychiatrist . . . the sooner, the better. [/QUOTE]
