My daughter has recently been put on the starter pack of Strattera. She will start at a low dose and ramp up to a target dose.

I called the school to let the nurse know and I was told that the only thing the school needs to know about is if she would need to take the med during school hours other than that, they don't need to know. I asked "what about the possible side effects? What if she starts having problems? Don't you need to record this into her file so that someone at the school knows what's going on if she starts having side effects?"

Her answer, basically was "No".

I couldn't believe it.

Anyone else here dealt with this? It just seems utterly stupid! Medications come with warnings for a reason. I would think that a student starting a new medicine (especially one that's being titrated up) would be something the nurse would like to know about. I would gladly sign whatever releases of information or other forms if necessary.
