I was in the clinical trial for Strattera (atomoxetine). Any idea what it costs to buy it? Lilly is giving it to me for free for another five months, then I'll have to convince Kaiser to carry it, if they haven't already done so. But I would think that since it's the first non-stimulant for ADD/ADHD, parents in particular will be demanding it instead of Ritalin, etc. But I seem to do better with a combination of Concerta (sustain-release Ritalin) and Strattera.
