Today, there were news stories about ADHD Medicines not working. I was interviewed on TV, and I was misquoted. Here is my whole answer (including the parts that weren’t broadcast on TV)!

Boys with ADHD were considered “hunters” in tribes about 10,000 years ago. Now people think it is a disease.
Psycho-stimulants that might “help” with anxiety or depression? The notion, as part of therapeutic gospel, is that an “ameliorative” affect can be assumed by the alteration in mood and/or the dampening of emotion, i.e. “therapeutic” effect. However, the poverty of the science cannot bear out any “equilibration” of the subjects brain nor, for that matter, is there any test or assay that shows there to be an neurochemical or neuroanatomical “balance” restored-no matter the explanatory model.
let me guess, FOX 11? ahah
I wish i could take all my medicines by slapping a patch on my butt
didn’t stunt my growth…i’m 6’4″
@lvmike424 ADHD medications are small potatoes compared to cancer, Alzheimer and heart medicines.
Why should they try bribe themselves into medical research for something thats not that profitable?
i think if you used the drugs approtially then it will help….
I just got put on concerta and its helped me talk and be myself more open its a miracle
..
@footballh3 wow great taunt, but that’s all it is. A taunt
They can’t be working very well because you don’t have the attention span to finish typing a word.
You have totaly right @ivmike424
Digging out my crystal ball here, but ADHD will be one of those myths people in the future will be discussing like, “Wow, they thought hyperactive kids were mental and neutered them with mind altering drugs?” The pharmaceutical movement of this disorder is about profit. Plain and simple. It must be stopped. This is why America is slowly falling apart. Drugs are controlling the future. Seriously, open your eyes or are those anti-depressants making it hard to see?
i hv ADHD n i take vyvance… is better than atheral… the one i used to take… but still i barely take them,, i dnt want to b a pillhead!
@sinkingrob11 sure, if it was possible to change the environment to suit adhd folks that would be great and we wouldn’t have to muck with our brain functions! however, real life is full of critical tasks and responsibilities that are not interesting, have confusing and unknown outcomes, and are nearly impossible to tackle with the overstimulated, exhausted, and often compulsive/perfectionist mind of this ADHD sufferer.
@howardsternjr Yea it should go away in about a week im level out now
@Gnoma2345 my dr. just put me on vyvanse 20 mg! i feel a little mood swings? did that happen to u
Ok I say we change the world with our technology and make school more interesting and teach more productive things, Instead of changing the body it self. Somone reply to this and give me there opinion.
Vyvanse changed my life end of story… Before i was on it i was a downer in terrible adhd/Depression and the first day i took it i felt a difference
IM NOW AN ACHIEVER!
Blah
I have ADHD I take that Strattera stuff!
Now that I’m more mature I can control my hyper active part, but I know it’s still there some what and I might just have ADD, not ADHD the hyperactive part. Either way I have a physical coming up next week and will be telling my Dr about this and hopefully get on some pills for couple months then get off them slowly.
I noticed though, ADHD can have its positive sides as well. I’m very creative and a great athlete and love being active. My mind just works a little different which isn’t so bad.
I’m 21 years old now, but ever since I was young I’ve had the same symptoms as your son. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of maybe 15 but my parents knew I had it way before that. I never ended up taking the meds the Dr prescribed me and I always had a hard time in school and focusing and always seemed on the edge of my seat even if I was reading a book or watching TV I couldn’t sit still.
CONTUNIED…
“government huh” u don’t have it do u ,eeeeeeeeeh; your comment don’t count too bad,” why don’t u stick to what u can’t make up .
peaple who don’t have it shouldn’t comment we are not acters ” who ever u r yer gay ” funny how peaple vent who they are trough their comments ^_^
adhd was made by the government to sell drugs. your son is a sleeper cell planted by the government. wait… i forgot… im on the side of science… nevermind… yeah it is real
Moreover, traditional and modern parenting techniques don`t work with my son. I love my son but he`s different from other kids. The more I`ve observed my son & have worked w/him & other kids, it`s obvious to me that ADHD is real. I`m sure some drug companies try to take advantage of these kids & parents, but trust me, ADD is real just like autism is real. There may be no blood test to prove it but there are too many kids w/the same symptoms to deny it, I think.
