>First of all, that's the most insincere salutations I've ever read.

That was rude. Denise1966 is being treated for depression, not ADD. Perhaps you should have read about her before you attacked me. In England, depression is never treated with stimulants.

>Also, Shire is a U.K.-based firm.

Adderall is not available in the UK, it never has been. I work in a pharmacy, I am well aware of which meds are available in the UK.

>given you claim no adults with ADD are treated for their medical illness.

In the UK, it is extremely rare for adults to be prescribed stumulants. Most adult pdocs never prescribe stims at all. This is a fact which I am well aware of. I have seen many pdocs.

>medical illness....

Adult ADD does not 'exist' in the UK. Pdocs just don't diagnose it here. If they did, I would have been diagnosed years ago! There are a very small number of adult ADD specialists here, VERY SMALL.

>mother and the two children take Ritalin.....

Children are sometimes prescribed Ritalin in the UK. Most child pdocs prescribe it. A very small number of adults also take Ritalin. It's not unheard of but it's very unusual.

>I'm sorry, but claiming Ritalin is not given to adults in the U.K. is just something you're making up. It's completely false.

Look sweetie, I've worked in a pharmacy in a psych hospital....and in many community pharmacies. I know what I'm talking about. Perhaps you know the UK better than I do?
