We had our 1st appointment with the psychiatrist yesterday. He's still waiting on paperwork from the therapist but based on the info I gave him he felt that my DS has ADHD combined type. And of course he was angel during the entire hour and half appt.
He has taken him off all stimulant medications and put him on Strattera. He has started him on 10 mg for 4 days then 18 mg for 4 days and then 25 mg with hopes that we stop at 25 mg. I have not heard much about Strattera on it's own. I have heard of some kids that have taken it with a stimulant med.
The psychiatrist felt that the non stimulant med was the way to go for my DS due to the anger issues. He won't have the ups and downs on the Strattera like he did on the Adderrall. (previously on 5mg of Adderall and 2.5 mg in the afternoon)
Anyone out there have any expierence with Strattera by itself?
