Adults Who Meet DSM-IV-TR Criteria for Attention Deficit Hyper
Varenicline (Chantix) : Upon completion of screening procedures and meeting eligibility criteria, subjects will begin taking varenicline daily until Week 6 of the study. At Week 6 they will discontinue varenicline and return one week later for their final study visit to assess return of ADHD symptomatology. Subjects will start on 0.5 mg of varenicline per day for the first week of treatment. The dose will be increased to 0.5 mg twice a day at the end of week 1 visit, and then increased to 1 mg twice a day at the end of week 2 visit, to remain at this dose until the week 6 visit. At week 6, all subjects will be openly discontinued from varenicline, to return to the office the following week for re-assessment one week off the medication. If significant adverse effects (AE) occur, the daily dose may be reduced by 0.5 to 1 mg. At subsequent visits, a higher dose may be resumed if
