My nephew went til third grade struggling to get Cs and Ds. and then was started on ritalin. He is a really nice kid. Very loving. Yet he can drive you insane when he does not take his ritalin. He taps, fidgets and accidently breaks things due to his clumsiness. My sister showed me something: He was sitting at the table trying to do homework and kept getting up and walking around and talking. She then gave him his ritalin and within 30-45 min. he was settled quietly at the table doing homework. He also startes getting As and Bs.
Also I work with alot of school kids who have adhd and often see similar results. I know very little about strattera, but if he was my son I would give it a try. There are also other medications for adhd so if one doesn't work, don't give up. terrics
