will almost guarantee it has nothing to do with the Vyvanse...that particular ADHD med is a huge step forward in the evolution of ADHD drugs..its a much greater treatment than Adderall and/or Ritalin. However the cocktail of assorted mind altering drugs that was prescribed to a 7 year old is WAY uncalled for
Gross and deadly physician malpractice.
But that 7 year was on a whole cocktail of drugs! Maybe one more for mood support, but I sure don't get all the rest
I just wonder who was monitoring all his drug interactions
My experience with psychiatrists is very dim- they all push pills, talking therapy takes too much time
That poor little boy may have been acting out something he saw on TV, spending too many hours alone in a stupor. not really intending to die or understanding the finality
I also wonder whether he EVER had a complete neurospsych evaluation to determine his whole brain makeup......to see if the root of his problem wasn't attachment disorder from his abandonment and emotional neglect - only intense parenting therapy can help that, drugs cannot mask that pain and the behaviors that result
Can you answer me a question, if possible?
I went to school from 1948 through 1960 (Grammar/HS) and in all those years cannot remember ONE instance of a kid misbehaving that wasn’t stopped by a strong warning from then teacher and on occasion forceful putting down of the student by either putting him in his seat or grabbing ho;d of his arm to make the point. never have I seen in those days a student struck by a teacher or a teacher threatened by a student. Why, all of a sudden are all these kids “sick” and in need of drugs to keep them quiet.
What has changed to make them “sick” where they weren’t before?
