You don’t appreciate the anecdotes of your fellow Freepers, people who have first-hand knowledge of the efficacy of ADD/ADHD medications. You dismiss the formal medical knowledge of others. You reject the personal accounts of people who actually suffer from ADD or ADHD themselves. We would all love to know what information you have used to formulate your strong opinions. Do you have medical credentials? Have you taken part in clinical or statistical medical pharmacology research? Can you produce a suicide note from a child who had ADHD and ascribed his death to his drugs? Have you personally taken these drugs or administered them to a family member in correct dosages? Have you any training in special education? What experience, exactly, makes you write that these drugs are “poison”?
Because if you can’t cite some reason for writing as you have done and rejecting both the scholarly literature and the real-life experience of others, your views don’t seem to have much foundation in reality.
Think of the eccentricies of the very intelligent kids when you were growing up. Think how many of them did not adapt to classrooms. For example, a tour of Thomas Edison's house includes information that he was so misbehaved probably ADHD, that he couldn't go to school...you want to drug such brilliance away?
We just don't agree.
