My son has been on Straterra for 1 week. He started with a 40mg 4 pack then switched to 60mg. He has had a significant lose of appetite to the tune of a 15lb weight loss. The first few days he had a head rush everytime he stood up, but those have now subsided. He is still having upset stomachs at different times of the day and is very tired. We have experimented with different times of day to take the medication so that he can have a normal sleep pattern...still working on that. I am wondering how long do we allow these
systems to continue until we call the doctor to have his dosage decreased or are these normal and will eventually disapate in time.
