A friend of mine used to have ADD (I don't know how it goes away but ???). She also used to take Ritalin for it, got off the meds and gained like 15 pounds in about 3 months. She figured it had something to do with not taking the Ritalin so she went back to her doc and told him she was having problems concentrating, this time he gave her Aterol--she said it's amazing, has dropped a bunch of weight and is NEVER hungry. She was going to give me one to try but I wanted to research first--everything I found says it's a mild beta blocker (selective to heart). Am I looking at the wrong thing or something--doesn't say anything for use with ADD just blood pressure, high heart rate and things of that nature?
