Hi Valerie
I can't say, since I have no knowledge of catipras page or "the pill".
My son now takes adderall, which works like Ritalin, but without
the side effects he was experiencing. (lost of appetite)  But since
my son is ADHD *and* has Asperger's Syndrome, the Ritalin didn't prevent
his arguementativeness (I hope I spelled that right, my Franklin
Spelling Ace is out of batteries and I'm too lazy to look up the work:)
I wish there were a message area for Asperger's Syndrome, too.  I think
it may be more common than people know, because it usually goes
undiagnosed....but that is not for this echo..*sigh*  But, a child with
ADD or ADHD needs Ritalin, Adderall, or something, otherwise he may
not be successful in school and that would carry over into his adult
life.  Don't let people like Jane Kelley deprive your child of being
the best he can be because she has an agenda.  Don't listen to her
sophistry.  I suspect she is either a scientologist, or influenced by
a self proclaimed expert on ADD and Ritalin that is a scientologist.
