[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 85958, member: 2423"] For what it's worth, our docs are underwhelmed with Strattera's efficacy in treating ADHD. They say it works in only about 40 percent of cases. Every child is different in terms of how he reacts to medications. We have tried just about every stimulant out there, and my son does best on Focalin XR in the morning and a second dose of short-acting Focalin in the afternoon for homework. We use low doses because his tics and irritability increase when we go higher. Another medication to look into and ask the psychiatrist about is Provigil. It is prescribed for narcolepsy, but has been used for ADHD as well. Has your son ever had neuropsychologist testing and a full neurological workup? [/QUOTE]
