with all this being said my doctor does believe i have at least mild add/adhd (and my older sister does making more of a reason - genetics)
she gets amazing grades (had a 3.9 in h.s. in mostly ap classes) meanwhile i nearly failed 2 classes this recent junior year

she has no problems really - maybe trouble sleeping occasionally, but thats it
and she doesnt smoke pot at all, so trouble sleeping is kindof a non-issue for me... just sayin...

Look we're just trying to be honest and give you our opinions, when your not depressed, suicide seems ridiculous. But it can change in an instant and all of a sudden it's not so crazy. Maybe you should give studying hard a try.

This is just my opinion you can take it or leave it, I was just hoping to stop someone from being doped up on prescription pills like the rest of the world.

You know that they don't even treat ADD in the rest of the world? I speak with experience because doctors refuse to prescribe you that. It's mostly north American.

Take the drug and feed the pharmaceutical companies more of your money so they can develop a drug and then find something wrong with us that it treats.

You're right I don't, because
I was told I "NEED" those medications. Explain to me how they need them?

People like me, actually need this medication. I have tried various things without my meds, and have even taken t-breaks and gone about my regular life. I noticed it extremely hard to concentrate without them, and I was lost in a daze and couldn't keep my thoughts together. For some it may not be necessary, but to bash it all together is pretty childish.

adderall is terrible. you dont want to eat, you get anxious all the time, and to be honest you loose all creativity and fun.

its sickening to see little kids being doped up on hardcore drugs cause parents,an school systems are to lazy an irresponsible to take care of them.

ADD,ADHD,are just made up diagnosis to decribe a normal active kid.so everyone is more happy doping kids up to makes things easier,the drug company's love it.

15mg is about a little less than a fourth of a regular blue and yellow strattera capsule, not much at all since most people who are prescribed the drug take two a day. I myself am supposed to take to at night but took myself off to see how I do.

I didn't read all the posts, but yes they do actually prescribe methamphetamine for ADD. The name of the medicine is Desoxyn.
And I agree that the ADD/ADHD medicines do make you pretty zombie-like.
I just sat with the jitters on all of them. I got all my work done quickly, but my body felt very sick the entire time I was on them.
I felt like I was poisoning myself.
I haven't been on Stratera (atomoxetine) therapeutically, only recreationally. I have heard that it is a better treatment for ADHD without the nasty side effects. Don't snort it though. I had hardcore, scary hallucinations when I snorted it.

i do not agree at all with what you said

Hey guys,

First of all, all of this "It is horrible, suicides, zombies, it doesn't do anything good" talk is unnecessary.

Yes, drugs like these can be dangerous if you are not being looked after, and prescribed the right kind of medication and right dosage.

For me I made the decision with my parents, and we had a great doctor to monitor the dosage to work with me. It was painful to go through school and not be able to focus, and have teachers get mad at me. The medication worked well, and now I can ween off of it.

Be safe, and work with a doctor who knows his stuff and you can work well with. You do not want to be on a higher dosage then needed, and the doctor can help you find the right dosage.

** I hate seeing people bashing these drugs, saying things like "These are for parents that don't have time for their kid", This was NOTHING like what my parents and I had worked through. Stop the generalizations and unneeded remarks please.

Sickening? Doped up? What type of drugs do you think these are lol. If you actually looked at the ingredients in some of the prescribed add/adhd meds they are not bad at all. Just because everyone talks about Adderall and riddlin does not mean that is all doctors can prescribe.

If you need something to concentrate and you are not on Strattera (Atomoxetine), talk to your doctor and start on the right doseage.

"Strattera is a non-stimulant medicine approved to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Strattera is part of a total treatment program to help you manage the symptoms of ADHD."

the criticism with strattera by those i know whove taken it is they simply say... it doesn't work/help them out like stimulants do

i dont think i know,that most these drugs are amphetamines/methamphetamines.

40 millon people are precribed adderal alone,different amphetamine salts are in adderal,amphetamins are most certainly bad for you.

plus ritalin another stimulant witch has been precribed to close to 20% of kids,the shit is completely over sold,making drug companys loads of cash.

data shows that there has been a 1,000 percent increase in drug abuse injury reports involving methylphenidate for children in the 10 to 14 age area.

methylphenidate being the ingreident in ritilan,kids shoudnt be on this shit,only 5% of kids put on these drugs actully need them.

the majority of kids with so called ADHD/ADD,is precribed to these stimulants,so everyone is all zombied out an easy to handle.

like i said before 80% of the time ADHD/ADD,is just a word for being a normal active child,now once in awhile theres someone that actully needs to take these.

but the majority,dosnt really need to be on these drugs,they totally fuck you up after chronic use.
