Hi, Davina Thanks for the wonderful update!!! I am soo glad that the new meds are working well for your daughter. The Adderall and Ritalin are stimulants and the Strattera is less stimulating so that may be the difference you are seeing with your daughter. I hope that she continues to do well. Perhaps the change to Straterra will do better for your son as well. I guess you need to take one step at a time.

Please continue to keep us posted with how things are going.

Love ~ Goody

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm glad to help. I know what it's like to be at rock bottom and I just want to help out others as much as possible. It's great that your daughter is getting better and hopefully will continue to do so and be home by mid-August as planned. I'll keep her in mind for the next couple weeks so keep giving us updates. ^_^
