Does Eli Lilly and Company have any data on switching from stimulants such as Ritalin® to Strattera?
There are a variety of approaches doctors have used to initiate Strattera in patients who are on stimulant therapy. In clinical trials, some patients discontinued their stimulant medications within one or two days of beginning Strattera. Since we have launched the product, some doctors have chosen to add on Strattera and taper patients off stimulants. Individual patients have different needs therefore patients should discuss what treatment option is right for them with their doctor.
