Ritalin - Good or Bad - GoFuckYourself.com

Shagbunny · 11-26-2007, 10:55 AM

My sisters kid was diagnosed with ADD but she does not want to put her kid on Ritalin. Having just done some research, I don't think I would either (stunts kids growth, some kids become even more ADD on Ritalin). Anyone on it or have a good or bad experience with it?

Stay away from that shit and slap the doctor who told you to use it.

Doctors are so quick to give anyone as many pills as possible.

I had a friend who went on it in high school because the doctor diagnosed him with ADD (which he totally wasnt) and it fucked his brain up royally.

Now he like stutters during his sentences and such.

I fully agree with you

i hate when people come up with this shit instead of working with the kid and the parents. 99% of diagnosed "ADD" is the result of parents failures of dealing with their kids

tranza · 11-26-2007, 11:30 AM

Pretty much every teenager has ADD if you ask me...

L-Pink · 11-26-2007, 11:32 AM

And just when is this perscription supposed to run out? Never?

xroach · 11-26-2007, 11:36 AM

everybody and their dog is diagnosed with add and put on ritalin.

ritalin now, crack later .. drugs are bad mmmkay .. especially for kids

fucking great shit for programming though

Pleasurepays · 11-26-2007, 11:37 AM

the question is not "good or bad"

the question is "100% necessary or not"

D · 11-26-2007, 11:43 AM

not good, imho.

Damian_Maxcash · 11-26-2007, 11:44 AM

Get a second and third opinion - I am not counting GFY BTW.

Some kids do actually benefit from it.

scottybuzz · 11-26-2007, 11:50 AM

wrong place to ask this question IMO, i would get a 2nd opinion from another doc

themonk · 11-26-2007, 11:51 AM

well i have opened a thread about retalin couple of days ago.
i have add for sure (i cant consentrate when i read)
so i dont have a lot of options ..work on a shitty job and get paid like 500$ a month OR take retalin and learn .. get a degree ..
there are a lot of people that iknow about that do take it and have a great inrese in grates an other fact is its not banned in most( or all ) of the countries ..
so i dont think there is a big problem with it

fris · 11-26-2007, 11:57 AM

stay away from it

MetaMan · 11-26-2007, 12:03 PM

ADD is from bad parenting and not teaching your kids possitive activites to put their energy towards.

Fizzgig · 11-26-2007, 12:07 PM

She can try it; she doesn't have to stay on it if it doesn't work for her.

You are implying that it dosnt exist - it does...

Its terribly over diagosed I am sure.

tehHinjew · 11-26-2007, 12:30 PM

apparently a lot of college kids here use it for exam times..

i think i might try it

mikesouth · 11-26-2007, 12:38 PM

theres a fool proof test for ADD

sit the kid down with a PS3 or whatever and a game he likes

can he play it for more than an hour?

if so he doent have ADD

he is just a fucking kid let him be one

Gianna_CECash · 11-26-2007, 12:40 PM

That stuff is bad for you... it's just an easy way out for the parents and a way to make Dr. money - Everybody has some form of ADD, you DO NOT need pills

bronco67 · 11-26-2007, 12:40 PM

ADD is a scam. It's an excuse for kids to be an asshole. When I was growing up, ritalin was called a belt.

It makes me very sad to know that we live in a time where most American kids have never been, or will never be hit by a belt...at least once. Just another part of the downfall of this nation.

Brother Bilo · 11-26-2007, 12:53 PM

Its good for fun, bad for kids. There are ways to deal with ADD rather than doping up the kid.

DirtyProfits · 11-26-2007, 12:57 PM

bad bad bad

I understand why people think that - however, I have met many kids with genuine ADD.

It can normally be associated with other problems like autism.

It is doing a lot of people a diservice to say it dosnt exist at all.

I'm not saying something like ADD doesn't exist...I just think maybe ritalin is over-prescribed.

Kids need to be disciplined, not necessarily with a belt, but they need to be disciplined? Parents these days let there kids getaway with murder ?
