Juggalo,

I reviewed the side effects of these amphetemine based drugs, ritalin and adderall.

You should realize that this is nothing but an addictive speed based medicine. Its not easy to stop once you start.

The side effects are extensive. The list on the adhdtesting.org site list 40 negative side effects including impotence, loss of libido and inability to acheive orgasm.

Not something to look forward to going into your dating years. In fact, regardless, not something to look forward to period.

That site is www.adhdtesting.org/adderall.htm

Please throughly review this site.

I have better alternatives.

My information comes from credible Doctors, responsible Physicians who are opposed to these drugs.

Dr. Walt Stoll wrote an article for Psyciatric Times.

He has had much success in advocating the same thing I have on this board.

The use of omega 3 fish oil epa.

That article: www.psychiatrictimes.com/p991211html

Please fully read the article concerning omega 3 epa.
Use search box in web site (stoll omega 3, several articles)

Print that out and show it to your mom. Or take it with to your Doc if you like. That should be the first thing to try as opposed to legal speed, (ritalin/adderall).

You can find omega 3 epa at your health food store. Make sure it is epa not dha. Give it plenty of time to work. All it is, is fish oil in capsule form.


I take this regulary myself for many reasons. It is used for depression and biopolar as well. I have neither. I never get depressed either because I know how to control these things without pharm products.

Think very carefully and weigh the consequences to taking these harmful pharm drugs.

You were not born deficient of synthetic man made chemicals. These chemicals are profitable.

Doctors dont talk about Omega 3 fish oil and other things because they cant be patented, therefore they dont discuss them. Doctors are also regulated in what they are allowed to talk about. So sadly they are confined to pharmaceutical products. I am very familiar with how the industry works.

The average American kid consumes 150 lbs of sugar per year as opposed to 5 lbs in 1920. Sugar is a big part of the problem as well as other things that rob nutients out of your body like soda.

You cannot mask a nutritional deficiency with a drug.

To me the business of prescribing these drugs to millions of kids is big business. They are addictive and you become a long term customer.

Dont disregard mother nature in what she can do for you. Our ancient paleo diets have more in common with the ocean than we realize. Modern man has drifted away from that and relys on nothing but synthetic chemicals anymore for what ails us.

Drink lots of water avoid soda and cut sugar to bare bones.
add omega 3 epa per Dr. Stoll recommended amounts.
No junk food.
Sound diet with lots of fish, turkey,chicken limit red meat.
Lots of fresh green and bright colored vegetables.
Avoid white processed breads, white rice, white anything. This is poison.
Avoid milk and dairy for reasons I posted on this board.
Make sure you get adequate ascorbic acid, (vitamin c) in the diet.

Good luck in what ever you decide.
