How can I switch a patient from a stimulant to Strattera?
There are a variety of approaches doctors have used to initiate Strattera in patients who are currently on stimulant therapy. You can stop the stimulant and start Strattera the next day. In clinical trials, some patients discontinued their stimulant medications within one or two days of beginning Strattera. Since launch of the product, some doctors have chosen to add on Strattera and taper patients off stimulants.
