[QUOTE="Steely, post: 635694, member: 3301"] I am sorry, it is an SNRI, not an SSRI. It failed in research studies as an anti-depressant, but was found to have an incredible impact on ADHD. That said, it obviously affects the person's brain in different ways than a non anti-depressant, like a stimulant. It is interesting because in the states SSRIs and SNRIs are given with extreme caution to kids under 18. Yet stims are handed out like candy. Confusing for all of us, I know. HUGS. There are no straight answers here, it is just trial and error. FWIW, I am not a proponent of stims for kids - at all. I think Strattera is a viable alternative. Matt tried it, and had really aggressive side effects. But, you know, he is Matt. Most medications have not worked for him. [/QUOTE]
