   
Strattera for Comorbidities
Q:
"My son suffers from ADHD and anxiety. His doctor prescribed Strattera. Is this the best choice?" 
A:
Strattera is not my first choice for a child with both ADHD and anxiety. I’d typically try a stimulant first. But if you like and trust this doctor, I say follow his advice. If it helps, great. If not, seek a second opinion.
