Hi,

Just a thought...my son (age 9) has been on Concerta for a few years. We find that he copes very well with this medication. His mood and attention has been much improved with Concerta. It is a longer acting medication so you only need to take it in the morning and you are good all day. I am not sure of the cost as we have a drug plan. It is available in Canada. Might be woth a try!

Hi, I was diagnosed with ADD in 2005 when I was 37 years old. I have been taking Strattera for the past 3 years. It is a drug that takes a while to work. So they start you off at a lower dosage and work up from there. It may take a few months to see any noticeable results. I wasn't coping very well with everyday things and could never seem to finish any task I started. I was becoming very anxious, depressed and wondering all the time why I couldn't seem to handle things like everybody else. It worked fantastic for me. Everything got alot better and easier over the past few years. I felt a calmness I had never experienced before and my husband notice a huge difference. A few side effects though; I needed to take it with food or I got an upset stomach. I could always tell when I was late or forgot to take the meds. I also experienced some (heart palpitations)for lack of a better word. The side effects were worth the peace it brought to my life. I've been doing so well, I decided to try and decrease my meds to eventually go off them. My doctor and I have been slowly decreasing the dosage. The peaceful feeling is leaving me!! and I have since decided not to go off Strattera just yet . In my opinion, it is an expensive drug (about $146. each month), but it is definitely available in Canada. Hope this helps you out a bit.
