My son is 10 years old and his doctor wants him to start taking Strattera. I am not to sure about giving it to him. Has it helped anyone's child out there? Also have you noticed any side affects? ## Has he been on other medications such as Ritailn? If so have they been uneffective? Different drugs have different effects on different people (whew hard to say). I have heard so many different things about this drug, that it is bad to take, that it is good to take, but nobody seems to make up their minds. I have heard of people becoming really weak and physically tired after being on Strattera, and that it does not kick in lick Ritalin. Instead it is a more gradual effect. Sorry I couldn't give any more details. I hope you can find the info you're looking for ! Mary ## I am 19 y...

Is stattera used for ADHD ? Is it the same as hypercon 10? ## Hi Lorelle, Yes, Strattera (Atomoxetine) is in fact used for the treatment of ADHD. And based on my research, Hypercon 10 is said to contain the same active ingredient (Atomoxetine); so both drugs 'should' act in the same manner. Apparently, Hypercon 10 is manufactured in India by a company called Consern Pharma. However, I don't know anything about the legitimacy or efficacy of their products, since foreign medications aren't as strictly regulated as they are here in the US. There are loads of counterfeit drugs out there, so I do wonder if you ordered this medication from a reputable pharmacy? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Atomoxetine Details Has anyone else tried these tablets? ## Does s...

I have a 14 y/o son and a 13 y/o daughter that are both on 54 mg of Concerta and Strattera. My daughter is doing very well, but my son is not good on his meds. ## My 5 yo son was on 54 mg of Concerta and it didn't seem to be working so the doctors put him on 30 mg or ritalin and that seems to be helping a little bit but he is still very hyper and still has a problem staying on task for longer than 15 mins, but he also has bipolar disorder. I never thought that they could diagnos a child that young but i am glad that i had him tested because it is helping a little bit but not as much as I thought that it would. ## First I would like to state this is only my opinion based on personal experiences and various observations. I am not a professional by ANY MEANS. I am a 17 year old Junior ...

I have recently started 25mg of Strattera. I feel strange about an hour or so after ingesting. It makes me feel weird, sorta like I'm impaired. A little disengaged. A little paranoid. Is this a known side effect? ## According to Medline Plus, there are a few side effects listed that may fit what you have reported: - excessive tiredness - dizziness - mood swings I'd let your doctor know if these persist. Also, be sure to tell them right away if you experience faintness or shortness of breath. Regardless, it would be a good idea to review the full list of side effects. Hope this helps and best wishes with your treatment plan!

I have a almost 8 yr old daughter and she is on Strattera and now Concerta. I'm worried (if it is true) you need to be tested by professionals to be diagnosed with ADHD, and that she should have her liver checked? I feel this medication causes her not to eat and become a zombie. She seems to keep to herself. I feel that her condition is because she feels our divorce and all the problems that go with it. Could anyone help me please? Thank you. ## try just going to a shrink, she may not even need meds at all, just to talk to someone other than family. good luck ## well i am a 15yr old highschool student and i have also be changed from stratera to concerta and with me i noticed that the concerta helps me with my adhd greatly better than the stratera and just from the fact that your dau...

Sibutramine, however, has since been removed from the market, due to the high risks it caused of cardiac dangers. You can learn more Phentermine details here and you can learn more Sibutramine details here and there are more Strattera details here.

I was put on 40mg of Strattera along with my anti depressant Brintellix. I have trouble focusing. I start projects but nevet complete them. I am suffering from depression and go for therapy too. Just wondering if anyone else has taken this medication & if it worked? Dont understand why dr hasn't put me on adderall. ## Strattera doesn't work for everyone that tries it, but neither does Adderall. Most doctors tend to prescribe according to their experience with other patients, which has lead them to learn what commonly works for a specific set of symptoms. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and irritability. How long have you been taking it?

Do Atomoxetine generics have good or bad brands, and if so, which ones? Anyone who has been on an Adderall forum knows how terrible some of the generic brands are. And some make Atomoxetine too. Which ones have you tried? Even if you haven't found any to be better or worse than another.

What ingredients are in Hypecon-25? Is it the same as ritalin or adderall? ## Is Strattera is similair to hypercon 25? Is it available in Australia? If yes then how much does the medicine cost? ## @Nitin, From what I can gather, Hypercon-25 is basically the same thing. I've heard of others on the site being given this medication instead of Straterra because the Hypercon became too expensive. Apparently the drug originates in India.
