> I found this on an italian article. They tested a lot of non stimulant meds to check if they were useful for ADHD syntomps ... I report the results for you. The link is sopsi.archicoop.it/rivista/1999/vol5-2/rossi2.htm

I didn't see the table in that article you are linking to. For future reference, start with the "http://"; (without the quotes) to get a hyperlink in your post people can click on directly.
