Answer: If your child has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder they shouldn't take Strattera; ultimately this is your decision to make with your child's doctor. But keep in mind there is a Black Box Warning about Strattera: It states that you shouldn't take it if you have bipolar disorder or have symptoms such as psychosis or mania. It also says that you should stop taking Straterra if you notice your child has sudden changes in behavior such as irratibility and suicidal thoughts. Because of the way they(the FDA) put it in this warning I wouldn't say that taking both of those is completely harmless. hope this helps*****
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.
No you should talk to your doctor first about any medications that you can take. As of currently it's unknown what harm can be done to a child from paracetamol, and it can pass through breast milk so it's better to stop taking it and talk to your doctor. Or give your child formula if you need to take it to avoid it being transferred to them.
Take paracetamol.

This is a variety of acetaminophen, an analgesic. If the child took just one, then the child will likely be fine. However, it would be advisable to contact your local poison control center to be sure, or your family doctor.
My 11 year old daughter had been taking Strattera for a little more than 3 years. About 5 weeks ago she decided on her own, without discussing it with her father and I, to stop cold turkey taking her meds. She was taking 60mg of Strattera and a melatonin every night before bed. She was taking it at night because of the stomach aches. they were just to much to handle during the morning at school. After a few weeks of not taking the meds she confided in my Mother that she was not taking the Strattera anymore. I couldn't really tell any major differences. The only big difference was her insatiable appetite In the about 5 or 6 weeks she has been off the Strattera(taking it for ADHD) she has gained 10lbs. She says she is now sleeping through the night. Falling asleep quite easily too. It used to take her more than an hour even with the Melatonin.
Diarrhea is not a contra indication for rectal paracetamol. But if the child passes stool as soon as you keep the suppository it may be expelled.
Strattera is specifically for ADD. I wouldn't take the Welbutrin for the ADD. Right church, wrong pew.
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is dosed by weight in small children, but for a child that young you should get the express consent from a doctor since it can affect them differently than older children and adults.
