Hi everyone, my 5 year old son who has ADHD and is bipolar is trying straterra. He was on daytrana and it worked for the ADHD, however it made the bipolar rages worse. On Straterra he doesn't rage or hit me all the time. He also seems happy go lucky now. But, he is not listening in school and is having a difficult time not talking when the teacher is teaching. He has only been on Straterra for a week and we are slowly increasing the dosage. I was just wondering if anyone went from a stimulate med to Straterra and had positive results. I'm so happy about the bipolar being better, if we can just slow him down some.

my daughter takes straterra and it takes 4-6 weeks before it starts working. just be patient, i have seen a big improvement in her actions at school. before the medication, she couldn't focus or keep her mouth quiet. now the teachers tell me she is a great student, stays focused and doesn't talk too much. hang in there.
