Strattera is specifically for ADD. I wouldn't take the Welbutrin for the ADD. Right church, wrong pew.
A child who is on lithium needs to be monitored carefully before starting Strattera. This drug can trigger depression and my not be appropriate for someone who is taking a medication such as lithium.
I would not put a 9 year old onto that high of a dose with his heart rate at that, because Strattera has side effects of increased heart rate, I think for a 9 year old you should try 5mg to start on, and then slowly ween up if needed.
My son has been on Strattera for 3 years and we have never had any problem with head itching.
There can be many different side effects that a 17 year old may experience when taking Strattera. Some of these are depression, suicidal thoughts, stomach upset, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
Yes it can!
absolutely i am 13 years old and my brother has tourette's syndrome his tics are very bad and he is able to take strattera. just look into it with the family pschychiatrist.
Under 10mg/L.
I just took my 15 year old off 60mgs a day cold turkey. She was on for a year and a half. She is doing fine today is day four.
Juanita I would suggest that maybe you can give your child vitamins with his medicine. My 5 year old son takes a Sesame Street vitamin with his Adderall in the morning. It acts as a reward to him. They are very tasty to him as well.It got easier with us after we started using the vitamins. So maybe you can take a Cartoon Character that he/she obsesses about and get them in a vitamin
MY 13 YR OLD WAS ON STRATTERA AND I TOOK IT HIM RIGHT OFF IT AND HE HAD NO SIDE AFFECTS WHAT SO EVER. AND YOU SHOULD'NT HAVE ANY SIDE AFFECTS CONSIDERING STRATTERA IS AN ALL NATURAL MEDICATION USED FOR ADHD
children shouldn't take more that 100mg per day or 1.2mg/kg body wt. 0.454kg = 1lbs there fore this 75lb or 34.1kg kid should not exceed 40mg per day.
