My son is starting Straterra tomorrow. I wanted your opinions on it if anyone knows anything about it. Thanks

My son takes medicine, but not that particular one. A common side effect of most ADHD meds is lack of sleep and lack of appetite. So just make sure his weight is monitored by your doctor.

:raising hand: not the same one but I'm familiar with Adderall. It took a long time to be able to decide to medicate. I know it made a world of difference for us.
There are some side effects of stimulants that you should be aware of...so if you ever want to FM me feel free.
