I just like to mention that non-stimulant ADHD approved medication such as Clonidine and Intuniv (except atomoxetine which is really just a weaker stimulant) act more like sedatives which might be useful where hyperactivity is a symptom but are actually detrimental with ADD symptoms.
In view of the above and considering:
1) ADD being more prevalent in adults ADHD patients; i.e. without hyperactivity.
2) Large number of reported cases of Tachycardia/Tachyarrhythmia associated with methylphenidate as well as dangers of stroke and/or sudden death syndrome,
Isn't it amazing that there has been no strategy developed to deal with the issue?
