My son who just turned 7 was on Strattera for two months. His behavior took a drastic change for the worse. He became terrified of going to school because he thought bombs were going to blow the building up. He could not function in the school. He would hide in the closet and constantly call out. It took several weeks for the drug to get out of his system, and it was during this time that he was re-evaluated, diagnosed with Pervasive Development Disorder NOS with a recommendation for full-time special Ed in a class for kids with behavior disorders. The only time my son had such severe symptoms of PDD was while he was on Strattera, for him Strattera was a nightmare.
