Does anyone have advice about ADHD meds? I've heard they can be bad for someone with bipolar, especially Ritalin. But what about Strattera? Has anybody ever taken Strattera or any other adhd med without it causing crazy thoughts or anger?

my son takes daytrana patch I believe it has the longest half life. Try strattera and intunive first before going on controlled substances.
