Well I took my son to his pediatrician yesterday and he checked my son's height and weight and temp. But he didn't check his blood. He left him on the same dose of Strattera 35 mg until the script runs out and then he is going to be on 36 mg so I don't have to keep paying two copays. I talked to the pediatrician about his tantrums and moodswings and tics and he referred us to a child psychologist. He has had the tantrums, moodswings, and tics for a long time, long before he was diagnosed this April with ADHD and started on Strattera. I had hoped that the strattera would help with the mood swings and tantrums and maybe tics but it didn't. I don't think it has made it worse either but I really do think he may have tourettes or child onset bipolar. His appointment with the psychologist is Aug 6, that seems like so far away. I have made me a counseling appointment for July 23
