I found this on an italian article. They tested a lot of non stimulant meds to check if they were useful for ADHD syntomps ... I report the results for you. The link is sopsi.archicoop.it/rivista/1999/vol5-2/rossi2.htm
It should be easy for you to translate the name of the meds. +++ means very useful ++ useful + controversial (++) useful in bipolar - harmful
The absolute new entries for my knowledge are Clonidine and Guanfacine (hypertensive meds) (?!) and Buspar (Buspirone). Enjoy it
P.S. (The line Clomipramine is blank, maybe a misprint)

I didn't see the table in that article you are linking to. For future reference, start with the "http://"; (without the quotes) to get a hyperlink in your post people can click on directly.
