In reply to Started Strattera Yesterday Woo-Hoo!, posted by HADD Enough on February 2, 2003, at 8:32:26
My 11 year old son started Strattera 16 days ago, and I want to tell anyone who's discouraged with the phase-in period to hang in there. We've had a rough couple of weeks but the last two days have been worth it. My son is off Adderall and is eating better, and more significantly, he seems to be more himself but with the impulse control he needs.
We had him on 25mg until 7 days ago when we started giving him his target dose of 40mg. No problems whatsoever with sleep or appetite. The first two weeks he was very active, impulsive and kind of goofy at times. I was beginning to think this drug was nothing but sugar pills!!!
