gtrplayer,

Though I disagree with you that the ultimate conclusion is to be medicating our young-- I do respect your belief. Yes, it's proven to work-- but at what cost in 20-30 years, to the children? stimulants have a possible link to developing-- hallucinations, delusional thinking and mania in children and adolescents without prior history of psychotic illness.... hmmm... could that have something to do with the increase in the diagnosing of "bi-polar" recently in children/teens??

Here's a quote:
"A growing number of health professionals, parents and educators believe that Attention Deficit Disorder ADD ADHD is a disorder, but they do not agree that a long-term course of medication is the answer."

I have researched because I was concerned about putting drugs into a child, someone that depends on me doing the right thing, that are on the same lines as cocaine and meth.

here's the link I got that quote from if anyone is interested:http://www.theadhdspecialist.com/Adhd_Medication.html


-- too many people want a quick fix -- hurry-- brush this under the rug!! My kid has to succeed! Instead of taking it a healthy natural way(without side effects) with sleeves rolled up-- therapy, research and support for parents and child.
