my 6 yr old son has been diagnosed with adhd, pdd-nos,ocd, and a cyst on his brain and when he took the strattera he was moce violent. after a month of violence we took him off this med to help him and our family. i had taken seizure medication myself and i wonder if it is possible that this may have caused his neurological problems.

I am a 39 year old female diagnosed with ADD. I take 80 mg of Strattera daily. I have been on this medication for 6 months with absolutely NO improvement. I have had a sick/headachy feeling for the entire 6 months but for the past month, I have experienced a severe headache and traditional headache/pain relief does not help. I was prescribed Imitrex for the migraine and it doesn't help either. Any idea if this is the Strattera? What is another ADD med that would be effective minus the headache? I am taking online courses for a bachelor degree and am having major issues with focus and/or completion of assignments. Thanks!
