My own opinion is that you should first talk to the current psychiatrist.  If she does not even acknowledge that the medications could be the problem, I would absolutely seek a second opinion with a new psychiatrist.  We had to do this when my daughter's prescribing psychiatrist kept upping her dose of Paxil when she was exhibiting almost psychotic behaviors.  When we got to a new psychiatrist, she immediately weaned my daughter from Paxil because she knew the bad reaction was from the medication. 


Was it 4 weeks ago that your son started Strattera and the anger and mood swings increased?


FWIW, my son had his prolonged intense manic reaction on a 25 mg dose of Zoloft.  It can definitely happen.
