DMX as treatment for ADHD
I have Bad ADHD and Bi-Polar and had unnacceptable side effects from Strattera, Paxil, Trileptal, Lamictal, Abilify, Lexapro, and Focalin. I have a low tolerance for drugs, but seem to be able to quit cold turkey with no issues from addicted drugs. Past suicidal ideation is an issue.
Everytime I take dextramathoraphine for a cough, I seem to be a little happier, can focus on work better, and don't spill my guts to all my co-workers. my primary said he did not like the studies he knew on DMX as an ADHD treatement. Does anyone have any information that might indicate a safe dose and success at treating ADHD or bi-polar? Are there long term effects of DMX used in low doses (as opposed to the doses used to get high)?

I think it is best if we leave babyalex alone.
I am so happy I can speak from a place of success with my child and found his diagnosis of sensory integration disorder to be a blessing that enabled him to accomplish what he desires. I am eternally grateful for his label as it allowed us to help him where he needed help. I wish that for all families who are trying to find their way. Having a child that is content, happy, well balanced and succeeding in the world they live in should be every parent's goal.

Speaking of personal experience, I have found that the mainstay of sites dedicated to the "discussion" of ADHD do not admit for anything but the reductive take on (mis)behavior. The conclusion I have drawn, and one I think most consistent by word and deed of members on those respective sites, is twofold. One ostensible aim of these sites, that of sharing knowledge and experiences, cannot allow for anything other than that of ADHD as a disease (disorder), of a determined course. Secondly, the confusion of "symptoms" with that of (disease) "signs" allows for a considerable amount of obfuscation and, generally, much confusion over the etiological. And I am the one who is said to have an agenda! There are now well over ten million children on some psychotropic drug or other. In the book "The god delusion", Christopher Hitchens's posits that for every twelve individuals who never break free of their strict, fundamentalist, religious upbringing, only one individual free himself from the imprisonment of the mind. I wonder, given how pervasive the myth of mental illness is in our culture, with the blandishments of psychiatry to dazzle and dumfound, if the above statistitic holds true for those who have been labeled at an early age? There is every reason to believe that being labeled as a child is as dour as being hammered with religious indoctrination.

The people who start posts on this site do so (I believe) with the specific intent of getting some advice on how to deal with their specific problem. Most of us who respond to these posts try and offer advice (based on our experience or research) to help the initial post. I would love to see you offer some specific advice to help people. Or, if you want to offer your philosophical agreements with Dr. Breeding please start a separate posts where people will have a chance to respond. As it now stands, you are doing a disservice to the initial poster.
I was in the business of helping people overcome mental illness for almost two decades and saw a tremendous amount of success over the years. I also have a son with a developmental delay very similar to add/adhd called sensory integration disorder.
Mixing your apples and oranges? SID is similar to ADHD? You say you had a career of helping individuals overcome mental illness? No less helping those individuals to accept the biological reality of his sickness? No where in your posts do you mention anything of the psychosocial in the one labeled. Your reductive-biologistic take on problems in living is consistent with that of clergy of the church of mental health, with sin being supplanted by the medical sounding term "mental illness". No matter the change in nomenclature and of the vestments of the profession, you have no less taken on the career of dispensing with your sacraments of (mental) health. The means by which such a transformation has taken hold in modern culture, of such notions as sin to that of "illness" and, redemption to that of cure and treatment, has been some three hundred years in the making. Our culture has long since dispensed with the demonological in explaining all manner of sinful and bad behavior. Now, the sacraments of mental health and wellness concern themselves principally with the medical: a form of biological predestination, as with ADHD? The mental health profession concerns itself with the moral order of man, yet, the language at its disposal has run afoul.

At some point one has to realize when they are dealing with an injured party and I'm at that point. Disingenuous or not, good luck.
