[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 35538, member: 1498"] Not surprising that Effexor would be prescribed off label for ADHD. It's a combo SSRI/SNRI antidepressant; Strattera is an SNRI antidepressant and it's approved for ADHD so, what the hey, just prescribe any SNRI for ADHD. Of course, that overlooks that few kids with bipolar family histories have any success with Strattera (mood swings, aggression, etc) or that Effexor has real withdrawal issues. And it totally overlooks that the suicidality and hostility issues with Effexor have resulted in the letter I linked. But I guess nothing should surprise me anymore. Effexor was my son's first medication. If I knew then what I know now, it wouldn't have been. [/QUOTE]
