Strattera sounds like the perfect fit for her but the upset stomach would not go away.
We do try longer than 2 weeks with each med but it does not improve. She is ADD and does not have the hyperness.
Could it be that it is slowing her down too much? It just does not make sense and driving her crazy!
How long did you give each med? This happens often with my daughter (13), but if we give it a couple of weeks it does get better.
She is now on Strattera and we are not seeing that tiredness.
help!!
My 12 yr old daughter has tried many of the ADD meds. They all make her VERY tired. She weighs 90 lbs. All have been tried at the very lowest dose possible. She literally could sleep all day and is very "out of it".
Any suggestions?
Strattera takes 6 weeks to kick in and at least 4 weeks to get most of the side effects to stop.
