"i have an 8 yr old son who has adhd. he has tried several medications including adderall and vyvanse. nothing has worked as well as strattera for him. he&#039;s a new kid. so much happier. he used to have severe mood swings with the vyvanse, although it did control his adhd fairly well for about 5-6 hrs after he took it. strattera has been a big help regaining some normalcy in his life. he is only on 10 mg daily for the last 3-4 weeks but it has made a very noticeable difference. i have not seen any negative side effects from it, and he is actually eating on it. thank you strattera."
