[QUOTE="Malika, post: 635736, member: 11227"] Okay, well... I know I mustn't start getting my hopes up too much but today was the first day that we saw some positive effects (3 and a half weeks after starting Strattera). He slept very well, 11 hours uninterrupted, and woke up cheerful and bright. At lunchtime (he comes home from school for two and a half hours in the middle of the day), he was just like this model child - sweet, polite, listening to me, bright and happy. He wasn't so hyperactive, was clearly still a bit sleepy, wanted to stay at home with me reading stories rather than going out to play with his friends here. After school, definitely hyper, less fantastically good, but still listening to me, not oppositional - and, here is the unprecedented thing, he has been working for half an hour with the high school student who comes to help him with his homework, concentrated and uncomplaining... this has just never, never happened. The boy said he did so much better than usual with remembering the Arabic letters - 12 tonight, where usually it is just two or three, at most. So... if it carries on like this, it's a fairy tale and I would feel endless gratitude to ADHD medications that I once mistrusted and accused... But I know it may not carry on like this. [/QUOTE]
