Ask him why he has concerns with Straterra. I switched to it after no help from Adderall. I have had only one side effect that I actually welcome. That would be weird dreams. Never remembered them prior to Straterra.
Just think, at your next appointment you are going to have so much information about ADD and Meds that you will knock your doctor's socks off. The well informed patient tends to be treated differently from one not so informed.
If Straterra works for your daughter, that would be the first med I would try with the Mom.

that is if i was a doctor.
