My son was just diagnosed with ADD.  His doctor suggested we put him
on Adderal, however I was not comfortable with this decision because of the
drug being a stimulant.  The doctor decided we should try Strattera because
of my concerns and the fact that it is not a stimulant.  This still concerns
me,  I never wanted to put my son on a drug.  I am not sure what to do.

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD: first things first: your doctor, doctors have not found an abnormality/disease in your son on any exam or test, nor can they--none exists. This being the case, no medical or surgical treatment is indicated or justifiable. If coercion and a legal challenge arises, I am available to you/your attorney. Fred Baughman, MD]
