[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 243269, member: 1233"] Wiz and Jess both took Strattera. Jess took it for a short while and said it did help her concentrate, but I noticed her seizures were then noticeable, and lasted up to 3 minutes each. Then the pediatrician neuro got back to us with the results of the EEG and she clearly had a seizure disorder and he said to stop the strattera. My gfgbro takes strattera whenever he can get it. For a long time he had no health ins, so he got it when he could do tree work for his psychiatrist to get a scrip, and then she would give him samples. I tried to get him to do the prescription program for people who don't have ins where the company gives them to you free, but he would not do all the paperwork. Now he has ins and takes it most of the time. BOY can you tell when he is off of it, even for a day. I think it takes a couple of weeks to be fully active, but a pharmacist would know best. difficult child also takes it. Has taken it for YEARS and plans to continue taking it for YEARS. It makes a HUGE difference in who he is. I realize the ADHD for him is part of the Aspergers, but it is still something that needs treatment for him to have a decent life. He doesn't notice side effects, and he has a history of migraines. SNRI's are sometimes given as migraine prevention. My reg doctor, and a neuro I used to see both suggested them. In fact, that is why I was on effexor for a while. Wiz has at MOST 2 migraines every 6 weeks, and before his current medication combo he was having many, many more migraines. I think it is something you might want to ask difficult child his feelings about it. And ask the psychiatrist what he thinks. It might be worth a trial. [/QUOTE]
