Steph has been on 40 mg Strattera for 2 weeks now.She is still tired and getting real moody.I tried giving it at night but it kept her awake.The only change I've noticed since we increased is her handwriting is better.She was not tired at all on the 25 mg and her mood was better.Is this dose too high?Should I go back to 25 mg or talk to her dr about splitting the dose or lowering it?Her dr doesn't want to give her more than 1 pill.Why don't they make a 30 and 35 mg.It would really help.She weighs 50 pounds.Thanks for any help.

Brenda, I would talk with her doctor. 40 mgs may be too high for her. Moddiness and irritability is a sign that the dose may be too high.
Keep us posted.
