My child has just started on this so interested in replies also. So no help but bumping for you

Thanks - good luck with it. Would be interested to hear how it goes as atomoxetine will likely be next for us

@Pantoufle23 @ToJabOrNotToJab

My 8 year old is starting this, any updates?

He’s been on methylphenidate for 8 months but has made his anxiety unbearable. (For him and for us!) So it’s been stopped by CAMHS. (He has autism aswell as adhd)

Fraid not, Dd is still on concerta til we get through exams. She’s also v reluctant to try atomoxetine so I am always keen to hear feedback . Good luck x

Thank you @Pantoufle23

ds won’t take tablets and I’ve been crushing and adding his methylphenidate to smoothie / juice for the last 8 months but the atomoxetine they are prescribing in a liquid (he has melatonin and phenergan for sleep in liquid form!) so hopefully he’ll take it ok.

I’ll keep you updated x
