The pharmaceutical industry will do anything to make a buck. But come to think of it, so will Babs Streisand, The NY Times and Hillary Clinton.

Can you believe this? Are they trying to drug the people like they do in Cuba? This seems like something Hitlery would do if she were the President.

I used to think I had ADD...Then I decided that people are just boring...

[Bluntpoint]

What a bunch of nonsense there is no such thing... I need to wax the floor.

[DainBramage]

I don't have an ADD problem, but don't always get all my takeaways, timeses.

Ritalin's contender for ADD treatment is Adderall, otherwise known as "speed":

EACH TABLET CONTAINS	5mg	10mg	20mg	30mg
Dextroamphetamine Saccharate	1.25 mg	2.5 mg	5 mg	7.5 mg
Amphetamine Aspartate	1.25 mg	2.5 mg	5 mg	7.5 mg
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate USP	1.25 mg	2.5 mg	5 mg	7.5 mg
Amphetamine Sulfate USP	1.25 mg	2.5 mg	5 mg	7.5 mg
Total equivalence	3.13 mg	6.3 mg	12.6 mg	18.8 mg

I often thought my husband would benefit from Ritalin, but would rather have him be who he is, hyperactivity and all!

I keep telling him he'll be in motion 10 years after he's dead.

It seems every other television commerical these days is a pharmceutical company attempting to convince you that you just might have a disease that they can control with their product.

[AlexW]

Damn, the phone rang and I forgot what thread I was looking at :((
AADDABC? whatever.
I have always had some kind of mental problem...No one really figured out what it was 40 years ago, and I doubt that anyone can figger it out now.
All I know is that I am low grade stupid, and I can not spell, but at age 58, who cares?

There is a web site where you can go and take a test to find out whetrer you have Adult ADD.

I went there but lost interest.

Does that saye something?

[bmwcyle]

bttt for later

[Bahbah]

I just roared when I saw this commercial. Then I wondered how many would fall for it.

[Tatze]

Adult-ADD, or ADD in general is such a scam. I went to take their "test" on Adult-Add.com to test their test. Its a series of questions like "How often are you distracted by activity or noise around you?" If you answer "Rarely" to all question, it still says you are likely to have ADD.

Do not fall for this people. They have already suceeded in drugging a large number of our children, now they are moving on to the adults.

I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD: Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder This is how it goes...

I decide to wash the car and start toward the garage then I notice the mail on the table. I figure I might as well go through the mail before washing the car.

I lay my keys down on the desk, sort the mail and discard the junk mail. As I discard the junk mail, I see that the garbage can is full.

I lay the bills down on the desk and pick up the trash can. Then I figure that since I'll be going near the mailbox while taking out the trash, I may as well pay these few bills first.

Now where did I put my checkbook? Ah, here it is! Oops, there's only one check left. My extra checks are in the other room.

Oh! There's the soda I was drinking earlier Hmmm, I guess I'd better take it out to the kitchen and discard it. On the way to the kitchen, my flower arrangement catches my eye and I realize it needs more water.

I pour the soda down the sink. As I wipe a spot of the counter I see my glasses on the window sill. It's about time. I've been looking for them all morning. I guess I'd better go put them away so I can find them again later. But first I see remote, but what's that doing in the kitchen? Aaaaaagh! I'd better take it to the living room because we'll never think to look for it in the kitchen tonight.

I take the remote out to the coffee table and find that the living room is a bit untidy, so I go around arranging cushions and throw pillows. I'm off down the hall, to... to... what the heck was I planning to do?

End of Day: The car isn't washed, the bills are unpaid, the flowers aren't watered, the checkbook still only has one check, and now I can't seem to find my car keys! I don't seem to have gotten anything done today but I just can't figure out why because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!! I realize this is a serious condition and that I'd better seek help. But first, I think I'll check my e-mail.....

Back when I was still a dinosaur, we used to have ads on TV suggesting that there was this thing called BO, and that you probably didn't want to have it.

In the usual manner of using sex to sell everything, here would come some guy smiling and waving to a couple of Hot Babes^TM, but no sooner does he go off-camera than one Hot Babe^TM says to the other, "Eeeuuuw, what's that smell."

One Mesozoic period later, we're all mindlessly spraying who-knows-what into our armpits every morning... what the doctors would call "topical application of mysterious chemicals."

OK, this time they want to administer the mysterious chemicals orally instead. So what, they got us all taking vitamin pills, too. Who among us really knows what's in those things, or what any of it does?

It's just Madison Avenue. Nobody has to buy it. "But it's death! It's poison!" Yeah, so are McDonald's hamburgers. They got hydrogenated whatchamahooie in 'em... kills laboratory rats and makes them scream.

Maybe it's good that I'm turning back into a dinosaur, because I can't get excited about this stuff anymore. Here's what I know: I'm going to be extinct. Every person who ever lived sooner or later ends up extinct. Might as well eat the potato chips, smoke the cigarettes, even try some of the pills because you ain't gettin' out of here alive. Adele Davis died of cancer. Jim Fixx died jogging. And I'm still here. Bwaa ha ha.

Ritalin is the drug that gave Judy Garland such a hard time, so says her daughter, Lorna Luft.

Next thing you know they are going to recommend Ritalin for senior citizens who are getting forgetful.

""Many adults have been living with ADD and don't recognize it," "

I find that my OCD regulates my ADD. :)

The pharmaceutical industry will do anything to make a buck. But come to think of it, so will Babs Streisand, The NY Times and Hillary Clinton.

Hillary had pharmaceutical investments in a blind trust while she tried to nationalize the healthcare industry.

I think that the pharmaceutical industry has learned a trick from the DNC. Heavy saturation of a scare campaign can get old people to believe any lie.

"You may be going crazy! You need drugs!"

"Republicans want to starve old people and let them eat dog food!"
