[QUOTE="Southbound, post: 303731, member: 7985"] I have two ADHD kids on Strattera; one is 15 and the other 12. My older one has been taking it for about six months now. His main problems were impulsiveness and lack of focus, and the medication definitely helps with those. I will say that he is less animated and "happy" than he would be off of the Strattera; but I wouldn't describe him as irritable (at least, no more so than before). He is more subdued and in control, which is what we want. He does display some compulsiveness - such as the need to make sure the doors are locked at night - but I don't think the medication is the cause of it. Before he went on it, he was suffering from anxiety and it has improved. Mind you, he is taking Zoloft as well as Straterra. It is a pretty good combination, though by no means a magical one. I hope it continues to work for him. My younger one just started and so far, so good. It seems to have a similar impact on her. [/QUOTE]
