[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 312618, member: 2315"] GN, This was not a medical journal article just a simple one page newsletter. There is much medical documentation to the claims that can be found on the internet. I only posted this because I as a parent was not told of the risks when my so was put on this and similar drugs years ago. I am not advocating for or against the use of Ritlin in properly diagnosis'd children I am only saying that we as parents need to be properly appraised of the risks of all medicines that we administer to our children. I was not and felt the need to let others be informed who might not know . SW- thank you for that info. I see that they do warn for those with pre existing heart conditions but there have been deaths associated with ritlin when there have been no know heart abnormalities. You were very lucky to have had a Doctor who was up on the risks and did indeed monitor for growth and other side effects. I was not as fortunate but then my difficult child is older. When he was in school ritlin was the end all and be all of treatment and majorly pushed by my SD. -RM [/QUOTE]
