OT - Harry - thanks for the additional information. I was not aware of this.

I actually was diagnosed with ADD, the psych told me I probably offset the HD part by being very physically active-I have not missed a workout or not exercised daily for 25 or 30 years. The girl I have been seeing lately has a son about 8 who takes Straterra and he seems to be doing well with it according to her, the stimulants did not work out at all.

[OT athletes and stimulants]

Stimulant drugs for ADHD would be verboten for athletes in Olympic competition, for all the obvious reasons (otherwise 95% of athletes would suddenly have 'discovered' that they have ADHD, and be medicated for same).

More than 100 MLB players have applied to the league for a “stimulant exception” to the collective bargaining agreement, claiming ADHD as the justification. I don’t know how this is handled in football, basketball, and hockey.
