I give my son strattera at 6:30 a.m. with a glass of milk and breakfast. He is in 7th grade and age 12. I find it takes about a hour for it to kix in. The first hour of school he is still talkative in class, then the rest of the day goes great. You cant tell he uses it except his grades have went from D's and C's to A's and B's.
He is on 25 mg. once a day, The way it sounds he is so lucky that it agrees with his body. It has been Great! I think the milk coats him and keeps him from feeling sick, he also eats about every three hours. But he has only been on it since December 18th 2004.
