There is a new treatment that is not a stimulent. It's called Strattera. It's made by Lilly (full disclosure; this is the company I work for, though not on the Strattera product team).
It's interesting that people most always associate ADHD with children when that certainly isn't the case. Kids with ADHD grow up and become adults; untreated adults may have trouble keeping jobs, have higher average of substance abuse, etc.

Thanks! I will mention it to my doctor. I do understand that long-term exposure to ritalin is undesireable....

Yes, I agree on all counts.

I started raving about Strattera before I saw your post. :)

You might want to pass along my thanks to your company. This drug has helped my family immeasurably.
