We started our 8 y/o on Strattera three weeks ago. The first day he took the initial dose 18mg he fell asleep in class. The second week we thought we saw some improvement in school, more focus, less confrentational and not as easily distracted. This third week, however, has been the worst. He is not cooporating with teachers and we have had two calls about his “exploding”. We are going to stick it out for a few more weeks before we makee any changes. Has anyone else seen this type of good/bad pattern?

Yes….Do you know what set him off at school? Perhaps if you find out weill be able to get a better picture as it may not be the meds…However it could be the Strattera too….Strattera help my youngest son…he did poorly on it he was tired, withdrawn and depressed..
