[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 46583, member: 2423"] Are you working with a board-certified child psychiatrist? I would certainly ask the prescribing doctor the question you asked me. I will just tell you that any antidepressant (Strattera is an AD) can cause increased anger and aggression. Strattera has also been known to cause mood swings and make kids just plain mean. If you decide to discontinue it, you will need to wean down and you will need to give it a chance to get out of his system (as in 2 to 4 weeks). That's the only way you'll be able to get a baseline read on your difficult child's behavior. What kind of doctor diagnosed your difficult child? You could be looking at more than ADHD. [/QUOTE]
