Francesco:
Six years ago we tried all of the SSRI's: nothing worked for my ADHD, but then I don't believe that I really gave each med a decent trial. Every time I got the jitters I'd go back to my doctor and tell him it wasn't working... The difference this time is that I had some sort of idea at the start what might happen and was prepared for it.
It's too bad that the stimulants are not available in Italy, since ADHD people react differently to them and frequently have such good results. Even here they're not that easy to obtain, since they've been abused. Most are classified as Class II narcotics.
Look at this site:
They have some interesting material regarding ADHD, the types of ADHD and interaction with various drugs and diets.
Good luck and God Bless,
