Treating Adhd
I recently read an article about a trial on the use of this drug in a pediatric form on children with ADHD. I am interested in hearing more information on this to treat my child who has adhd. It is said to not be a methamphedimine like adderall, Ritalin, or concerta; which my child has taken and which i am not pleased with the reactions and side effects of which he has suffered. Any information would be appreciated.
