Strattera Research
After three long years Christopher Gillberg's Strattera study on adults is finally published.
I revealed catastrophic results from this study already before it was completed. See Eli Lilly's and Christopher Gillberg's failed experiment with Strattera

And now after some good pressure the article Open-Label Trial of Atomoxetine Hydrochloride in Adults with ADHD is published on-line in the Journal of Attention Disorders, 20 May 2009,
http://jad.sagepub.com/pap.dtl What about this result, from the article: "Open-label trial of atomoxetine in 20 individuals with ADHD ... Six patients discontinued before 10 weeks and thirteen at 10 weeks or later, mainly because of side-effects (aggression, depressed mood, raised liver enzymes, thyroid hormones, diastolic blood pressure), decreasing efficacy or non-compliance."
And: "...benefits from the medication seemed, at least subjectively by the patients, to fade away over time, and in the long term, effects could not justify prolongation of the treatment, especially, when feelings of depression, aggressiveness and/or hostility, or just a feeling of numbness occurred."
