ADD/ ADHD/ Meds

[Anonymous]

I am a fully grown adult and have taken some of these meds in this article and they were WAY too strong and debilitating for me, and I was on the minimum sized dose. I cant even imagine what that shit does to a two year old. The psychiatrist be the one charged with poisoning. Did the parents just give the child the prescribed dose? If so, the doctor should be held responsible I think. If they were lazy child abusing parents, pill feeding their kid ten times what they should have been, then yeah, they should be charged. After reading the article I was not clear on what more accurately describes the situation.

Those posters who"love ritalin" are the fakest posters Ive ever seen.
 
"hello. yes. I just happened to come accross this obscure forum for gulug survivors. I like to go to random forums for things I have no experience with. I also frequent forums on whaling nd the best way to remove "cyns" a celuloid that can irritate your skin if you spend to much time using ballons as an alternative to regular industry grade rubber to experiment with velocity.
Once there I seek out threads on the use of ritlan and post about my fantastic experience with it"

And what about a program they have in Helena, Montana that's for kids as young as 4? They take kids with attachment disorder. Well, to me if a kid has some attachment disorder and can't bond with the parent, is the answer taking the kid hundreds or thousands of miles from the parent? Somehow, I'm not getting it. Maybe they know much more than I do about raising kids, but it seems if a kid and parent are having trouble bonding, what they need is local help where they can learn together. How are they going to learn to bond when they're miles apart? Maybe someone has the answer.

I think its pretty clear who has the "attatchment disorder" there.

Any kid who cant bond with someone who clearly has no regard for their child is a very sane and mature 4 year old. Poor thing

i have to say from presonal expreanace Ritalin and addarol can "take the edge off" for me any and make it MUCH easyer to function in a class room
thats not say i  have to have it or i cant at all i can it just take much more work on top of what im suposed to be learning


this is not to say that ADD and ADHD are over diganosed they are imo but for us that have it what ever you want to call it it takes extra work to keep focused
i can do this now and mind you im 27 now when i was 8 not a chance the skills  i have basicly taught my self can only be had with time and the will to better ones self
no program or drug can do that if the person doesnt want to in the first place

now the question is does the end justify the means? for some yes depends on how bad it is for that person and how well they can cope on there own for younger kids that had no copping skills yet some kind of drug may be needed till they can develope the skills and slowly take the kid off the drug

some thing i see here are people pull there kids off durgs cold turkey which can be just as bad as taking the drug SNRI's for one is really bad idea to stop cold like that

now i did take Ritalin from about 8 to 12 with no gaps and then after that when on and off and later tryed all kinds of cocktails of stuff in highschool and i do have wonder how much of what happend later were side effects my history much more complex so who knows but still was its amped from the ritalin? who knows

im all for trying any thing that COULD help with in limits any way i have been in 3 programs more if count the Maryland Public Schools Special Ed system
since i was in 3rd grade
i still think SUSE did some thing good for me since after that i had less incidents the following year in highschool
the other places not so much
since high school i have tried all kinds of drugs none have done any thing for me

lt;dr
what works for some may not for others
do your homework befor going on any meds
weight the risks out and ask is it worth it
