Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

Sitting here in the UK, the US medical system looks very strange. The difference between the two systems is exemplified by this consumer report on the ADHD Drugs best buy. In the UK we take what the doctor gives us. This is not to say that the UK system is better because in the UK we wouldn’t of gotten the useful information in this report.
"Our analysis found no evidence that any one stimulant drug is more effective than any other. Each raises different safety issues, however, and you should discuss these with your doctor. ….
Taking into account the evidence for effectiveness, safety, dosing convenience, duration of action, and cost, we have chosen the following as Consumer Report Best Buy Drugs to treat ADHD:

    * Methylphenidate tablets – 5mg, 10mg and 20mg
    * Methylphenidate sustained release tablets or capsules (Metadate ER, Metadate CD, and Methylin ER) – 10mg, 20mg, 30mg
    * Dextroamphetamine tablets – 5mg, 10mg
    * Dextroamphetamine sustained release or long-acting tablets – 5mg, 10mg and 15mg

These four medicines have been tested by time, and are available in low- or moderate-cost generic or "branded" generic forms. Their monthly cost ranges from $10 to $86.

Methylphenidate (short- and long-acting) is supported by more evidence than dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine also causes slightly more side effects and has a higher potential for abuse. But all four have been proven effective."
