I don't believe that the Strattera causes OCD symptoms, and it's possible that the hair pulling is not OCD, but possibly a Tic Disorder. My son was diagnosed by a neurologist at five to have a tic disorder (at that time snorting) and ADHD. To treat the ADHD, the Doc prescribed meds like Ritalin and Adderal, and the tics got worse. They also evolved into new and more disturbing habits (such as bald spots from hair pulling.) The Strattera was the only medication that has not aggrivated the tics.
another opinion: I tried Strattera for adult ADD. At a tiny dose of 10 mg, it made me depressed and very OCD-like, at least mentally (obsess on a single thought for hours). I've seen other people on other sites claiming the same thing. So I do think it can cause or exacerbate OCD-like symptons. Everyone reacts differently to these things.

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*****
Can someone who once had Diphtheria pass it on to their unborn child and if so what symptoms might the child develop?
No, a person who has had diphtheria cannot pass the infection to their unborn child. Diphtheria is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and once a person recovers, they develop immunity to the infection. However, if a pregnant woman contracts diphtheria during pregnancy, there is a risk of complications for the fetus, but transmission of the infection itself is not possible. Symptoms in the child could include respiratory issues if the mother is infected, but generally, the child will not develop diphtheria if the mother is immune.
