The other thing with strattera you can not miss a dose and have it work, it has to be constant..not sure this will help you.. you sound very frustrated adn I can relate on some level..
good luck

Good points there.
I hate online "tests"--they are not diagnostic and there is no way to tell if a person has ADHD or anything else by these tests. They are entertainment. I even doubt they have internal validity enough to be useful as a screening tool, let alone a diagnostic tool. I'm surprised they have them on here (maybe they have a disclaimer--I hope).
Any doctor that takes the results of an online test for some mental disorder and prescribes a psychotropic based on that and spousal report alone needs to have their license taken away.
I understand the frustration, but I would really doubt the Strattera is helpful for whatever it is he has at all.
