[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 312647, member: 1550"] My kids don't go near stimulants anymore since my grown daughter became an ADHD/stimulant/meth addict in her teens. The FDA needs to warn parents about ALL possible problems with drugs. I wonder if, on their black box, they warn that this drug IS abused and can cause addiction and kill you. Ritalin was one of the drugs, with Adderrall being the most common, to be used by teens, crushed in pillcrushers and snorted. And kids are pretty good at faking ADHD and doctors are quick to hand out stimulants. I was told that drugs like Ritalin and Adderrall had a low addiction rate. I'm finding that's not the case...that they are a huge drug of choice to abuse these days. That's why the pharmacists are so tough on prescriptions. by the way, not everyone knows, even if their child regularly sees a doctor, if there is a hidden heart problem. I personally believe the FDA is covering for the drug companies who produce stimulants and not telling us the whole story. My son was once on stimulants and it scares me now. I don't trust the FDA farther than I can throw them. How long did it take for them to put the warning on SSRIs that they can cause suicidal ideation in children? Guess what....it can do that to adults too. Grrrrrrrrrrrr...this post hit a sore spot with me...lol. Off the soap box. Carry on, folks! :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
