My 10 yr. old was giving that stuff when she was 1st diagnosed with ADHD. It was aweful...I was scared for her and myself and anyone around her b/c I never knew what she was gonna do next. Take him off that stuff now. She is now taking 60 mgs. of Strattera and it's working great, she does have little axiety attacks very now again but it's so much better now. Oh, she was also put on Ritalin and that was aweful too.
Good Luck,
Jen

Was your son really that bad that he needed medication in the first place?????
Is this better than before?? Maybe non pharmaceutical treatment is better??
Hope you work it out!
