sorry to bug you but I read a thread somewhere where it was contraindicated with ADD meds. Now most places only mention MAOI's. This was the first time I saw stimulents mentioned.
I haven't been able to find more info on that but it's causing some concern. Have you ever heard of anything like that?
thanks
