[QUOTE="bigbear11, post: 549729"] Jules, Strattera is generally recognized as a non stimulant 24/7 medication. However, like everything else it is certainly possible that kids react differently. One thing to make sure is that the target dose is high enough... between .8 and 1 mg per kg of body weight. Unlike the stims, Strattera is weight dependant so it is often under dosed and then folks get frustrated that it doesn't work. Just a thought. You also asked about it being a SNRI if it would help with depression and/or anxiety. Actually, increased anxiety can be a side effect in some kids. It hasn't had that effect with TRex which is important since she has anxiety issues anyway. Here agin everyone is different. [/QUOTE]
