Can a child taking lithium for bipolar take Strattera for add?
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*****

ADHD drugs, stimulants such as Ritalin, and the non-stimulant, Strattera, can make this cycling worse (rapid cycling). If you have bipolar, you should not be taking an ADHD medication unless your doctor feels benefits outweigh the risks. Talk to your doctor to learn more and never be afraid to get a second opinion.

What will happen with 100mg of Strattera?
Answer: Strattera is not at all harmful at 100mg. Basically if you can handle or avoid the side effects the result of taking 100 mg would be increased alertness, and better attention span. It really helps you concentrate. However, Strattera has a black box warning about the potential of suicidal thoughts in children. So keep this in mind, and I would not recommend taking Strattera at all if you have any form of depression, anxiety, or any form of bipolar or psychosis. And you should stop taking Strattera immediately if you start to have thoughts of suicide or sudden changes in behavior such as agitation or irratibility. Ultimately you should talk to your doctor to determine if 100mg is necessary for your individual treatment. hope this helps***
