Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son is 16.6yrs old, his psychiatrist has advised him to take attentrol10 medicine daily once. He is showing symptoms of OCD after taking medicine for past three days. What should I do ? Shall i continue or stop the medicine. He is suffering with ADD?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Atomoxetine Hydrochloride in the form of Generic Strattera Capsules (Attentrol Capsules) is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor used for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The judgement of your psychiatrist should be correct in giving the medicine. There is no evidence of OCD as side effect. Still you shall consult your psychiatrist once again and update him about the developments.
In my opinion primary ADD and OCD may be cured with the help of psychotherapy without any medicines. Try to find a clinical psychologist.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
