"i have had add all my life. starting in 5th grade, my psychiatrist put me on concerta. i didn&#039;t eat well and i didn&#039;t grow for almost three years. when my doctor expressed concern, i was switched to strattera. i am now a senior in high school, and have been on strattera for five years. i haven&#039;t noticed any side effects and it has truly been a blessing in my life."
