...Food and Drug Administration takes lightly. So when an FDA advisory committee recommended on Thursday that the agency's strongest safety warnings be placed on packages of the massively popular drug Ritalin and similar stimulants used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its less frenetic cousin, ADD, the suggestion made national headlines and generally freaked out patients, parents and more than a few doctors...
...panel's recommendation also reflects a general concern among some members of the medical community that use of ADHD drugs has spun out of control in the U.S. "No where else in the world are 10% of 10 year-old boys diagnosed and treated for ADD," says FDA panel advisor Curt Furberg, a professor of public health at Wake Forest University, who voted in favor of the warning.

Instead it will be offered in "supplemental" or add-on spending requests, along with additional funding for Hurricane Katrina relief. Bush's Budget Director, Joshua Bolten, told reporters that he expects that the White House will request another $70 billion this year for Iraq. "This is a very expensive proposition," the former Goldman Sachs executive said of the wars. But the true number may well be higher because estimating...
