> My daughter has ADHD and I researched the different medications before selecting strattera. Her doctor gave us a months supply of samples. within two weeks I notice a big difference in her behavior and her ability to concentrate. My problem is insurance refuses to pay for it because it is new. I requested a hearing and need as much info as I can get to win my case. Does anyone know some links that would compare strattera to some of the other stimulant drugs.

With new meds, often ins does not cover them until there efficacy is proven. Phar. Reps usually give docs plenty of samples to cover this period, though.
I you and the doc see a dramatic change for the better, let him know your situation. Most likely, he will give you a doggie bag at every appointment. I have been getting my Lexapro like that for almost 4 months now and he said not to worry about it as most of his patients ins. does not pick it up yet, and if there are benificial results, he can keep the sample coming.
hope that helps a bit.
