Answer: No, Strattera is the first FDA- approved non stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. HOWEVER, IT HAS A BLACK BOX WARNING FOR POTENTIAL SUICIDAL THOUGHTS IN CHILDREN. It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and works on the central nervous system very differently than that of a stimulant drug. I hope this helps****
