"it works, is all i can say. started on the sample pack at age 12 (i am 16 now, but will never forget my experience). it worked, i cannot say that it didn&#039;t, but it gave me the worst side effects possible. after about a month of the medicine, i was diagnosed with depression as a result of straterra. when i took it, in probably 2011, the box said, &quot;may cause suicidal thoughts or actions&quot;, which my physician did not warn me about. then all of the sudden i was extremely depressed and suicidal and my psychiatrist discovered that straterra was the cause. he has had several cases before where the mental illness was caused by a drug, and nothing else. good medicine, just beware of the side effects!"
