Thanks Dragonfly.
I still haven't heard back from my pdoc yet. But I read up briefly on Strattera, and found the following article which warns against using it if you have Bipolar Disorder or psychosis. It mentions that suicidal behaviour is a risk.

But then again, my pdoc thought Concerta was risky until I was stable (evidently just not stable enough).
Thanks for this!
