Help - Strattera
user9876543 · 04/11/2021 22:28
My DD has just been prescribed Strattera for likely inattentive ADHD. She has eating issues too which is why this specific drug was prescribed.
But I've just read the side effects, one of which is suicidal ideation and I'm petrified. My daughter already has low moods and I worry that she could get worse. The psychiatrist said she has anxiety issues amongst other things and that the Strattera should help with this and her struggle to focus & concentrate. She's hopeful these tablets will help.
Just looking for thoughts and observations from other parents and hopefully some success stories about Strattera. Thank you
