Dollyn,
I appreciate your concern; however, I would also like to ask you not to post to this thread.
I guess that these person just wants people to sugar goat it all.
Not wanting to here from someone who has been threw it all and knows what others have been threw.
When you ask dollyn not to post, you are exercising censorship. You wanted responses to your question. You got them from people concerned about you and your condition. It is up to you to act on, or not act on, our suggestions. If you don't want any input, then don't ask for our help.
Okay - just for fun.
I wanted to say, "If you address this post, please address the question. In addition, allmymarbles, it appears you are inferring censorship yourself. The key word from your last post is help . . ." Instead, I'll say this: Neither of the responders have addressed the question. I think many folks use this as a personal soapbox - which is completely acceptable, cathartic probably; however, this is probably the wrong forum for me. Thank you, and good night!
I am sorry that happened to your son. Have you filed a lawsuit? Adderall is not a " drug" when prescribed for a diagnosis illness. THe people that use the medication as perscribed are not drug users. This medication has been used since the 1930's and is still used today by the military. Every medication has its side effects. Please do not judge anyone by the medication they are prescribed.

I will not file a lawsuit,I don't believe in doing that.I made a bad choice by putting my son on drugs for add and adhd and didin't know what I know now. And is just like speed and people are taken it the wrong way ,the side effects are bad and then when one takes more than they should that makes the risk even higher. And Adderall is us to help people slow down so they can learn and if it is doing something else than you really don't need it.And to may people are being misdiagnosed these day's with out getting everything checked. And later in life when they get something from taken these drugs they will want to put a lawsuit when they new what they were taken had risk or took more than they should.
I myself had a hard time in School and I turned out fine not taken any drugs.
and back then they didn't say if you are having a hard time learning that your child has add or adhd, I am glad they didn't because I know my mom would have given me these drugs even thou I didn't need them.
yes ever medicine has side effects that is true , some you have to take to save your life. the drugs they use for add and adhd you can live with out them because you won't die if you don't take them ,you might die if you do take them .
I believe other parents should know what there is out there to help them beside these drugs.And to make sure they are treated for the right things.
As for the military using these drugs,just because you think they us it means it is ok to do things that others do. That is like saying if one person jumps off a cliff then it is ok for others to do so.
I hate to see people mess up there child's live when they don't know anything about what they are doing to there kids,or they are doing it because they are told they have to by the School. And I don't want anyone to have to go threw what my son and family has gone there.So if I can safe some one the pain I will try and not give up.
