Does anyone know about this particular drug? It says that it can

street ADHD but is not a stimulant. Does that mean then the

concerns that has over using Ritalin wouldn't be found here with

this drug?

quote from the link above:

Later on Tuesday, the FDA announced it had cleared Lilly's Strattera,

which the agency said was the first new drug in three decades for

treating the symptoms of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder

(ADHD).

Strattera is believed to be a less likely candidate for abuse by

patients than other attention-deficit drugs because it is the only

FDA-approved treatment for the disorder that is not a stimulant.

The approvals were positive steps for Indianapolis-based Lilly, which

has experienced manufacturing problems that plagued its drug pipeline

and held back earnings this year.
