> I have been on ritalin for two years, it's worked quite fine also, my doctor too is pushing the new drug...i don't want to switch. the new drug he wants me on is called Metadate, i haven't heard of yours. I'm guessing from research I've done online, somewhere, there are financial incentives for the doctors, let me know if you find anything else out.

Press Release: Rochester, New York, December 6, 1999 - Medeva Pharmaceuticals, a leading manufacturer of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), recently received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Metadate™ ER Tablets (methylphenidate hydrochloride extended release tablets, USP), the first 10 mg extended-release methylphenidate tablet. This new 10 mg dosage offers physicians an extended-release strength of methylphenidate that has not before been available and may remove the need for midday dosing. The Metadate™ family of products also includes a 20 mg ER tablet.
