[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 161283, member: 2423"] Welcome! Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us help you: What kind of doctor diagnosed your son? What kind of doctor is treating him? How long has he been on Strattera and Daytrana? Are things better, worse or about the same with these medications? How does he do in school, both academically and with peers? Any sensory issues (sensitivity to food textures or clothing tags, for example)? Any speech or developmental delays? Any mental health issues or substance abuse in the family tree? I asked about the medications because both Daytrana and Strattera can increase irritability, moodiness and anger as a side effect. So I do wonder if adding another medication will help when the original medications may be the cause of the problem. My son (as a teenager) has taken Clonidine at night to help with sleep. It is quite sedating. According to our psychiatrist (psychiatrist), it can cause a hung-over feeling that can also increase irritability. We eventually stopped Clonidine because my son needed to go on a migraine preventive, and the two medications have a drug-to-drug interaction. We now use Seroquel for sleep. Again, welcome. I'm glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
