Just wondering if anyone could share if Strattera helped you with ADD/ADHD and what side effects you had. I am going to start taking it in a month for ADD.
Thanks, Jenn

" My son has been on it for a while, but I found out that he wasn't taking it all the time, so we now have a new dosette pack ans that reminds him to take it. I did notice that he seemed to be a little more even with his behaviour. He was on Ritalin before that and that definitely had an on/off switch but this is more stable I think. "

" My son has been on this for several years. It does help him and at times when I think it is not working he will miss a day and I realize just how much it does help. He does have trouble at night sleeping and is on something to help him sleep and be aware also that you may get constipated. Good luck I hope this medicine works out for you. "
