[QUOTE="Malika, post: 635770, member: 11227"] Thank you, Confused. We saw the psychiatrist today... he administered some tests to J - apparently when we first saw him (before the Strattera) these showed dire levels of concentration capacity. Today he got everything right and the psychiatrist said the tests showed that he was now anticipating and thinking ahead, the skills he did not have before. I have a new prescription for 25mg which the psychiatrist said would help with J's oppositionality... with all the reading I have done about Strattera, I am not nearly so confident, but let us see what happens. Next appointment is in two months' time. The science is right and the medication is working in terms of giving J a kind of non-ADHD brain for the time it is effective. I also spoke to the principal of his school this morning and she told me everything is fine, that J is working well and they think of him as just another child. No real issues in terms of behaviour, she said. He has made friends. So... really it's as it always was, and the main problems are with me in the evening. [/QUOTE]
