> I dont know man. A lot of times I think gender and racial and socio-economic disparities in diagnosis have more to do with the doc doing the diagnosis than with the symptoms of the patients. Plus, dex and adderall are pretty similar--both were originally diet drugs (Adderall was the Obetrol of the 60s) and both are amphetamine products, so I think any differences would be "shades of grey".

>Yeah, that was my first impression but I do have a lot of respect for this doctor. I'm hoping other Babblers will tell me of their experiences so I can see if any pattern emerges.
