I was reading the Chicago Tribune on Friday and in the bussiness section,
they had an article about Strattera. Though y'all might be interested

Gah. This warning is absolutely f-ing retarded. It's basically there because Dr's are prescribing strattera left and right, forgetting it works more like a cognitive enhancing antidepressant. But really, any of the psychotropic drugs can do the same thing, especially in children. So basically here's what I have to say: It won't happen to your kid, but be aware of whatever you give them. Use common sense if your kid's mood becomes unstable or depressed.
