> Well, what a bad day. My son started the drugs this morning, after getting up at 4am !!!!!! Managed a morning in school, then got himself excluded in the afternoon for lashing out at his teacher. He is also excluded from school tomorrow, pending a meeting to see if he will ever be allowed back. I've cried for England this afternoon. Wish this so called wonder drug could work immediately. Bet he's gonna be one of those who takes 4 weeks before we see a difference. Huh, who am I kidding? Maybe we wont see a difference at all ! I was already at the end of my rope. Now I'm just hanging on by a thread. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
Hello,
I am so sorry for you and your son. I had ADHD as a child and didn't have it diagnosed until I was
50. I have been taking Strattera for over a year now. It changed my life immediately. With in one week after starting the medication I was able to think and act like "normal" people. This can't be easy for you. How old is your son? It sounds alot like my behavior when I was a child. Has he been diagnosed with ADHD or with something else? Every one reacts differently to the Strattera. I'll be praying for you.
