I was on stimuland medication as a child, I havent taken them for 7 years and it is still hard to make myself get going. I am still waiting for that little pill to kick in and make me super woman. The withdrawls were tereible. I became addicted to anything over the counter that would "pick you up" It was very hard as kid and I think thats why I'm hyper sensitive about it, it would kill me to see some other child go through the same thing.
