Re: Anyone out there's child is using Strattera(to all)

[Guest guest]

So far,

Increased focusing, tasking, impulsivity much lower,

hyperactivity cut down w/o drowsiness. Better at

school, sleeping through the night. It has just been 3

weeks, and my son seems to grow immune to the other

meds he has taken since age 6. Though this new med is

NOT a stimulant and his engine (thank you) has slowed

substantially. I will keep you all informed.

Best,

What was the med that seemed to cause the problem?

Ritalin?

On the subject of hyperactivity, has anyone out there tried the

Interactive Metronome computer-based product?

(www.interactivemetronome.com). I got to demo it a few years ago

when it was still in beta-test mode and was very impressed. We are

considering giving it a try this summer. Just wondering if anyone

else has already done it...

We did metronome therapy with an o.t., for both boys.

Both did well with it, met the goals, etc. However, I

really never saw any benefit in either boys. There

were none of the improvements which were supposed to

happen. And it was very expensive, esp. when done

with an o.t. Barb

My son , 14, diagnosed with Asperger and ADHD started Stratera about one month

ago. We are seeing very positive results with focus, controling behavior.

getting himself organized and taking an interest in his life and what he wants

for himself. A very big change for the positive.

Thanks for your input, . Did your son also have

learning disabilities? If so, were they helped? Barb

WOW this is great news.

My 15 year old daughter had just started Olanzapine......we are seeing

some positive results in a matter of one week on this med, she is going

on two weeks taking this med. her sensory problems has made some

improvement-hope to see more, her concentration and brain organization

has improved. She is not recalling or retaining information as yet from

what she reads, but she did have her head stuck in a novel for one hour

and read 5 chapters--that is a big plus, we are hoping that in 6 weeks,

her recall and retaining information what she reads will kick in and she

also mispreceives information spoken to her and what she reads, hoping

that will correct too. If things don't continue uphill with my daughter

on this med. i will keep strattera in mind. Thanks keep us updated.

Is their anybody here that has tried their child on Olanzapine to compare

notes. This is the first med. we ever tried on our daughter.

Just his inability to stay focused and organized caused him to not be successful

in school. Also, socially he struggles and is doing much better now in both of

these areas.
