[QUOTE="Malika, post: 625331, member: 11227"] Hi, Jules. This is, as you know, my specialist subject :) I did feel that jumping from 18mg to 40 mg in one fell swoop was way too fast and would cause bad side effects. This seems to have occurred - the flu symptoms, in particular, seem to point to over-fast titration. I think J suffered from about all of those when he was on Strattera at various times and they all more or less disappeared - what remained was the drowsiness and the violent rebounds. What I would do in your place is not take him off it but switch to taking it at NIGHT... this you can do by gradually giving him the pill a few hours later in the day until you get to the evening. I would plough on with it to see if the side effects go - usually they do if you give at night, though not the nightmares necessarily (at first). What benefits, if any, are you seeing? [/QUOTE]
