I was told by my psychiatrist that "in University circles" stimulants were not generally perscribed for ADHD. I think she meant the university clinic she works in, but I'm not sure for what reason they wouldn't. At the time I thought she meant they were no longer viewed as the best treatment (because of new reasearch?) but now after looking for info on the internet I find no indication of this, and think it's for non-medical reasons, like fear of lawsuits, the doctor's personal preference, etc. But if there is a good reason for this, I'd like to know. Does anyone know of newer findings that could account for this?
