Hi there,

The new medication for ADHD is called Atomoxetine, and it is made by
Eli Lilly. The best place to check for news of its approval is their
product newsroom:
http://newsroom.lilly.com/news/newslist.cfm?type=3

Here are some articles about Atomoxetine:

Google search keywords used:

ADHD stimulant 2002
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=ADHD+stimulant+2002&btnG=Google+Search

Searching Google brought up many results, that basically all sourced
their information from Lilly press releases, and this article at
Pediatrics Org, which I was unable to reach because their website
appears to be down:
http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/content/full/108/5/e83

I trust this answers your question, and feel free to ask for any
clarifications you might need.

Best wishes,
