Strattera, the first non-controlled treatment for ADHD was approved by the FDA in January. This drug has worked well for me and I no longer take Ritalin. My 13 year old daughter takes Strattera in place of Adderall and is doing very well. I highly recommend those taking the Schedule II stimulates to consider Strattera.

Well that sucked. All the formatting went away. I guess I need to learn how to preview and fix problems before posting. Anyone know why I can't cut out of MS Word and past in the comment box w/o loosing line feeds?

This is not the case. Ritalin wears off very quickly and does not build up like other drugs like anti-depressants of meds for bi-polar disorder. Stopping Ritalin just allows the ADD to show up with no other side effects.
Strattera is a new med for AD/HD and it works!

Cliff,
I am ADD and I coach ADD'ers. In January the FDA approved Strattera a non-stimulant med that is not a schedule 2 drug like ritalin. I was taking 52mg of Concerta (ritalin with a great time release mechanism) 2 times a day. Now I take 2 40mg tabs of Strattera every morning and I never "roll off" my meds. Strattera builds up in the system over time and there is no "roll off". To learn about Strattera, go to http://www.healthyplace.com/Communities/ADD/Site/s tory_strattera.htm . If you want to take advantage of a free coaching session, send me a reply.
