Is Ritalin Safe To Take Along With Strattera?
15 year old male has seemingly regressed showing signs similar to autistic behaviors (noises, arm flapping, name calling, etc). Currently taking Ritalin in combination with straterra (60 mg evening) Is there side effects in combining the two drugs that could explain the increase in inappropriate behaviors? Thanks
