Helo bttshep. Yes, certainly. Because your family has a history of schizophrenia by your taking a CNS drug such as Strattera, or any of the stimulants is in my point of view perfectly safe. Its being prescribed to you, and not certain if you're taking it for ADHD or ADD but hope that it does helps you. Best wishes along with good health to you,pledge
