[QUOTE="Malika, post: 635810, member: 11227"] At the moment, Strattera seems to be offering a trade-off. It is making J calmer, less hyperactive, generally more co-operative and amenable in exchange for... removing his joie de vivre, exuberance and the essence of himself, in a way. He is irritable and low-key for much of the time, albeit easier to handle. I feel somewhat backed into a corner. I feel I can no longer leave J unmedicated - the cost of his impulsiveness is just too high and potentially dangerous to him and to others. At the same time, the joyousness and fun that gave him such spirit have disappeared. For the moment. So it seems I have to accept the trade-off, but I don't like the terms. [/QUOTE]
