In reply to Finessing Strattera dosage, posted by TJO on July 22, 2003, at 17:25:10
> I read something on the 'net that said that too little Strattera was ineffective and too much caused rage. Also apparently the exact dose was important ie for a 170 lb guy the dose would be 92 mg. Does anyone know anything about this? Also this was for ADD. Is there a significant difference in the dosage for treatment resistant depression?

My son, age 24, about 165 lbs, is on 120mg Strattera for ADD and treatment resistant depression. He is doing very well on it and is weaning off Paxil. The pdoc said nothing about weight in connection with the dosage - he did say he wanted to go after the ADD aggresively, feeling it is my son's major problem. It does seem to have had a real impact on his depression too. Best of luck to you!
