My son started Strattera a week ago Sunday, he started at the 18mg dosage and is now on the 25mg, he is 6 years old and around 47 lbs. Saturday night he complained that when he moved his eyes they would move another way, we thought he was just tired, we had been on the go all day.

This evening he was in the car in the back seat and asked my husband(who was driving) why his head was so small and reached out and touched it and said, "Oh, its not small is it?" Then he looked at one of the cars driving next to them and asked why the cars all looked so small.

We have never heard anything like this before from him and are just curious if this could be the medicine, and are quite concerned.

I can't say if Strattera is helping his behavior or not, it has been a roller coaster.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I would strongly suggest that you take him to an Ophthalmologist as soon as possible. My son has complained of the light being too bright for him on the 5th day of taking Straterra and demanded that I turned off some lights. I was worried and I have an appt with an Ophthalmologist next Tuesday even though he has not complained since then. The waiting time to get an appt could be long. Straterra should not be taken by anyone with the risk of Narrow Angle Glaucoma according to the manufacturer, Eli Lilly. Dilated pupils could be one of the side effects of this med and that could be the cause of his problem. Anyway, since we are not eye expert, take him to one. Good luck and I hope all is well with your son!

I don't want to downplay the Straterra side effects, but my son experienced the exact same thing a few years ago. He described it as people looking like aliens with head big at the top and small mouths or just smaller heads. He was not on any meds and went to a specialists and eye doctors before a cat scan was finally done. It was determined he had a severe sinus infection that was affecting his vision from the pressure. After antibiotics he fully recovered and has no probs since. I was reading these posts because my son just started Strattera today.
Hope this helps.
BTW, he had no symptoms of any sinus problems when this happened.
