What does this mean for generic manufacturers? That they may skip merrily down the road producing medications that may or may not negatively impact the end user without telling us about newly-discovered problems.

What does this mean for ADD medications? It means "caveat emptor" - let the buyer beware. The drugs that are "off patent" may or may not have new, serious side effects. But if we take a generic we'll never know, because there is no requirement that we be told about them. And now, no way to seek legal recourse against the company that produced the drug. <a href="http://www.addiva.net/2011/06/25/generic-meds/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ know it's heresy for an ADHD coach to say this, but I semi-agree with her. Study after study shows that addiction rates actually fall dramatically when ADHD meds are prescribed and administered appropriately (e.g. a drop from 81% drug abuse to 23% which is near the rate for the general population).
