Thanks for the idea of going to the US for focalin! Never thought of that! I've heard about the sadness or depression from strattera (little worried about trying it on him, because that's the BIG side effect he gets from Concerta, ritalin etc.) Besides the rebound, of crying, screaming, punching, aggressive behaviour etc. NOrmally (not on meds) he is a happy go lucky kid who has a fantastic temperment. On the meds...different kid other than a short window of opportunity (about 3 hours) during the day when he's actually focused and normal for some of the school day.
Thanks for your response.
