[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 406044, member: 1514"] Im gonna be a lone ranger here. I actually worked in a pharmacy and know that ritalin works on a different part of the brain and wont give the high or stimulant effect that adderal or dexamphetamine will. Adderal was actually conceived as an appetite control pill but they noticed it worked for ADHD. It can cause the speed effect in people who dont have any attention problems as can any of the ADHD medications. Ritalin actually makes you feel tired or yucky. Taking too much over the counter dexadrine like diet pills...those sold in the pharmacy section are awful because kids take a bunch of them and they have a ton of caffeine and other junk in them. I did that one time and thought I was gonna die! Much worse than regular speed. I would seriously doubt an 11 year old would be selling his pills. A 14 year old...maybe. I would place a call to the Department of Juvenile Justice and tell them that kids are cheeking medications and selling them. They will start monitoring medications more vigilantly even to the point of crushing them and making them swallow them that way. [/QUOTE]
