Hi there. My son who is 12 was recently diagnosed as being borderline ADHD. He has severe mood swings that dont last long so his psychiatrist says he dosent fit into any particular category nice and neatly. My son only weighs 89 pounds but doc prescribed a Straterra starter pack of 40mg and then on 5th day it will increase to 60mg. This has proven to be way too much, he is almost lethargic and needs water constantly. Isnt this dosage too high, esp. for being only "borderline ADHD"? Also, I had his prescription filled for the 60mg but dont think I will use it as I want to get a lower dose, will pharmacy let me exchange it? Thanks so much!!!
