Strattra and Concerta
by wantlifeback, Jan 17, 2008 08:09PM
Hello, my 13 year old son was diagnosed with ADD (not hyper kind) as well as learning disabilities a few years ago. He has been taking concerta most of the time but i sometimes will let him take a break so he can eat properly and stop having such bad stomach aches. the doctor thought we should try strattra since it is new and in a different family than concerta. My son got really dizzy and lost all the feeling in his body. Now he has been taking the concerta for school again and it is starting to make him feel weird also. Has anyone else had this same experience of them making you lose all feeling in your body and make you so dizzy you can hardly function? I got really worried.
thanks for your help
