What about the risks of psychosis, mania, suicidal thinking, hallucinations, Tourette's syndrome, tics, etc.? These are just a few of the more common adverse effects listed in the package inserts for these drugs: Adderall: emotional lability, insomnia, nervousness, weight loss. Concerta: insomnia, nervousness, psychosis, tics. Daytrana: insomnia, twitching, weight loss, nausea, tics, mood swings. Focalin: nausea, anxiety, tics, dizziness, psychosis. Ritalin: insomnia, dyskinesia, Tourette's syndrome, depressed mood, aggressive behavior. Strattera: nausea, vomiting, insomnia, suicidal thinking.

A death review investigation is the way these stats should be collected at this point. Sounds like another whitewash with another flawed data collection process by the Drug Companies. A repackaging plan. Pull enough strings on the money, and I am sure you will find the financial conflicts of interest with Vanderbilt, Kaiser Permanente of California. Let's remind everyone, the Drugmakers didn't create a patient Medication Guide out of the goodness of their hearts, they were forced to by parents and regulators. The Drugmakers fought it, kicking and screaming the entire way. I am so not impressed by this big announcement.
