[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 253420, member: 59"] Janna, Yes she was on Strattera for ADHD symptoms, mainly the lack of impulse control. She is a difficult case, doesn't have ADHD or Bi-Polar but has some of the symptoms. Definitely the impulse control and mood problems, quick to anger, risk taker, etc. So the Strattera was to help those issues and the Lamictal was added later when it was determined that she needed more of a mood stabilzer. I do feel that the Strattera helped the ADHD symtoms, but after about two years she seemed to be angry a lot of the time and we weened her off. I think the Strattera was not helping with the moods, perhaps making them worse. After we stopped the Strattera she seemed much better on the Lamictal alone. But I want to be clear that she was much better on both medications for a while. It's just that the Strattera seemed to stop helping and the Lamictal alone seemed to be better in the end.
