> I was talkin' to someone about Straterra because I know a guy who was on Ritalin as a child and I often wonder if he is 'STILL' ADHD.

> After parents took him off Ritalin, prob' jr high age, his older bros' introduced him to meth. And yeah, it worked for him just like Ritalin. It actually calmed him, gave him direction, etc.

> Well, the psych community got wind of his meth abuse, and when that happens they don't give ADHD a second thought ... because the meds are stimulants.

> Anyway, as of late, someone said this one would be prescribed in such cases as it is not as much a stimulant.(?)

> So, he's been labeled 'manic'. He doesn't take his bipolar meds; says makes him feel horribly depressed.

> I dunno. I tried to help him.

> I don't/won't/can't see him anymore.
