INDICES> Re: piracetam, chlorpromazine for ADHD? (cont)
-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Lakshmi,

I have never heard about these drugs being used for ADHD. Firstly, to 
diagnose someone as having ADHD is in itself difficult and should only be 
done by specialists. Special forms/questionnaires are used. When the 
diagnosis has been verified, the treatment is methylphenidate or 
amphetamine tablets.

Articles on ADHD has been frequently published in JAMA and BMJ the last 
couple of years and it you have access to the journals, paper copies or 
Internet, you should search for them to get full text copies. You could 
also search on Medline (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/freemedl.html) 
using ADHD as search string for abstracts of the articles.

Kind regards

Kirsten
