Our son (9) was diagnosed as having ADHD with impulsivity disorder 2
1/2 years ago. We first tried Ritilan for 6 months. This worked
well, but had some disturbing side effects (total loss of appetite,
difficulty sleeping, rebounding). We then switched to Adderall (20mg)
for the last two years. Although it was better, he still had some bad
side effects(loss of appetite, difficulty going to sleep, social
rigidity, flat affect). We are considering switching to Strattera
based off our Doctors recomendation. Does anyone have any experience
with Strattera on a child with this diagnosis or this age? I would
appreciate any advice you might have.
