Hi!
Our son has ADHD and has tried many different types of medications. Now he is taking Strattera together with Dexedrine, but we found that he was not himself anymore so we stopped with the Dexedrine and only use Strattera.He is feeling happier and better with just taking Strattera. He is very active though and disrupts in class. He can concentrate decently but he is extremely excited. I was wondering after reading aobut the homeopatic medication called Attend if using that together with Strattera is an opion? Or is that combination no good together with Strattera?
Our son is also taking a very small dosage of Risperdal at night to lower his anxiety.
Best regards

Hi, It is a very hard question how Strattera and Risperdal interacts with homeopatic medication Attend. There are no studies about this yet. Usually homeopatic treatment is used alone, because it is a separate method of treatment. If you believe in it, you may ask your doctor to change the medicine for your son, but there is no guarantee that the treatment will be successful.

I am breastfeeding at the moment and would like to begin taking Strattera again after 3 years not taking it. Is it safe or should I wait.

We don't know whether atomoxetine is excreted into human milk. Animal studies have shown that atomoxetine are excreted into the milk of rats and this can harm the baby. The manufacturer recommends that caution be used when administering atomoxetine to nursing women. You should wait.

My 14 year old daughter started taking Strattera 60 mg in Aug. She in the past has had some problem with cold hands and feet, mainly I assumed because she is quite thin. But in the past few months the problem has worsened. I see a side affect of this medicine is raynaud type bluish hands and feet. Could she be on too high a dose, or would any dose do this?

I think it is because of a high dose of this medication.

Hi, some of my strattera was exposed to heat upwards of 90 degrees. Are the pills now ruined, dangerous, or both?
