I have a 12 yo son who has adhd, he hates taking pills. I have thought about switching him to the patch but I am worried . He has been on the strattera & adderall for 2 years. He is currently haveing problems at school when it comes to the afternoons. Teachers say that he does real well in the am then after lunch he starts to lose focus? Anyone with advise? ↓

angie- I just took my son off strattera and he was on it for 2 years....I wa really worried. Does your son have outburst's, Anger easily. while taking the strattera??? mine was. he has been off strattera for 2 days now and he is so much happier acting and he says he's glad he's off because he isnt angery. I was just in shock I had no idea he felt like this. But I dont think he did either.

as for the patch...That is working great, I love it so far....fingers crossed.:) ↑
