attentrol(atomexetine) is a newer drug for adhd. its side effects are only transient and last for short time. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, decrease apetite and weight loss.
these drugs can be given continuously but can be withheld on every sundays(free days every week) and school holidays like summer break. this helps to reaffirm the need for continuing drug therapy and also weans out any side effect.
