> > I am 35 and my Doc suddenly wants to wean me off the stimulant (that has been working for a few years) and start me on a "new drug", which I think he referred to as *Seralin*. I've been looking for it on the net, but so far only found Sertraline and Serzone. What is this drug???

I believe the drug you are referring to is Strattera. Its not a stimulant, but rather works by increasing the norepinepherine levels. I tried one 30mg dose and it made me very anxious. I'm going to continue with it and see if the anxiety dissipates. Certainly worth a try. Good luck and let us here how you make out should you decide to try it.
