[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 287948, member: 7664"] He was on Strattera, which is a non-stimulant adhd medication, it worked as far as increasing his focus a bit, reducing his incessant noise-making. He was on for 3 months, but because of the irritability we took him off. Upon taking him off he was manic for two weeks straight- really bad. I recently read The Bipolar Child and began to think the Strattera toned down the mania and what we were left with was the irritability. Thank you for your replies, it's very hard to sort out and I really don't have faith in the psychiatrist we are seeing. He'll basically prescribe whatever I suggest, last appointment he said 'are there any other medications you've been reading up on that you'd like to try?'. While I do like having some say in all this, I am not a dr. ! [/QUOTE]
