[QUOTE="givnmegryhr, post: 21148, member: 2113"] My son's psychiatrist wanted to add Strattera to his mix. I immediately got out The Bipolar Child book and looked it up while I had her on the phone. I read what it said to her. "Unfortunately, it has proved to be a problem for many children and adolescents with bipolar disorder as it can trigger mania or mixed episodes and increase cycling patterns. Based on a review of earlier clinical trials, it seems that the drug can increase suicidal thoughts in children and adolescents, and the FDA has asked the drug's manufacturer, Eli Lily, to add a "black box" warning on its prescribing information." I told her I didn't feel comfortable with introducing it at this time. She seemed annoyed with me, but so be it. Now I'm not saying that this would happen , as we know all kids react differently. That's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
