[QUOTE="DadRich, post: 108068, member: 645"] We tried Chris on Straterra AS AN ADULT and it wasn't good for him. It was prescribed for ADHD and not a mood disorder though. My experience with BiPolar (BP) has been extensive (Steven) and Depakote was best for him (all of them are different). When Chris was little, he was on a Ritalin/Adderal cocktail for his ADHD. We did the Strattera thing as a trial for this piece when he was like 19. He was always a "rebounder" on the stimulant medications (not much fun) and when we put him on Strattera, he rebounded BIGTIME. I remember being in FL and he BLEW UP (not in charactrer for Chris) walking away from home in a torrential downpour into an area he knew nothing about. VERY scary. I was able to jump in the truck, track him down and talk him back to earth before something significant happened. Never heard of prescribing Strattera for a little dude or gal, but I am not a doctor either. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
