Are ADHD Psychostimulants Right For Your Child?
I know some young ADHD adults who just could not function in society or even work unless they were on psychostimulants. The same goes for children and many ADHD children are helped by these drugs. The latest to appear is Risperdal which is an atypical antypsychotic and was supposed to be revolutionary and be much better than the older medications in that class of drug. Risperdal was mainly aimed at schizophrenia but ADHD and Risperdal have become an unlikely team in many cases.
I know others who have had a disastrous experience with ADHD and Risperdal. Weight loss together with a low sex drive have been disastrous for some women and seemed to have added to their problems of psychosis rather than solve it. Other side effects are feeling dopey, fuzzy headed, paranoia, hallucinations, depression, suicidal thoughts and so on. If you are on Risperdal and decide to move on to another type of medication, make sure that you do it under medical supervision as withdrawal symptoms can be severe, if not life threatening. Risperdal and ADHD may cause more problems than they can actually solve.
The toxic side effects of Risperdal and their antipsychotic cousins such as Clozaril and Zyprexa are well known. They have been linked to the shrinking of the brain in both studies on humans and animals. Inevitably this leads to a reduction in life expectancy and in studies done on the elderly population, the rise in the death rate among these patients was alarming to say the least. The medicines were effective in reducing psychotic symptoms but were disastrous as regards the incidence of heart disease which shot up. Risperdal and ADHD are not the ideal combination as the drug companies would have us believe.
ADHD symptoms can be just as easily controlled by ADHD natural rather than with psychostimulants and antipsychotics which actually seem to damage the brain. Nobody is sure what the long term effects are on the brains of children. Parents have to decide if they want their children’s inattention, distractability and hyperactivity deadened by a drug which may or may not turn their child into a zombie. In any case they will have to make a decision about which road to take. Parents in their thousands are just not convinced that ADHD and Risperdal are actually a suitable match. They are looking at alternative ADHD therapies such as homeopathy ADHD and judging by the number of testimonials, their trust has not been misplaced. Why not join them and find out what exactly is involved before making your own decision.

Should we allow children with ADD or ADHD to get a license?
With all of the difficulties with ADD and ADHD and the lack of attention to detail they cause, should we allow these children to have the privilege to drive? Or, should we allow them to have a learners permit but increase the time they must drive utilizing it or possibly never let it expire until they at least reach their majority (21)?
I have ADHD and Im driving for 10 months now. Almost 18 years old with an unrestricted license. I travelled over 15,000 miles since I passed my road test. I actually drive better than others. people like me with ADD need to keep themselves busy, and therefore keeping myself busy is KEEPING EYES ON THE ROAD and paying attention to stupid stuff. Remember, we have ability to do 10 things at once, and no matter what we realize 99% of what’s flying around us, that others wont realize. From 100 feet away in the dark I can say “hey, there’s something different about that car to my right. Oh, be careful, someone is trying to cross”. Others wont see the person at all, or until last second when they are about to hit that person..
ADHD people dont cause traffic because they dont sit at the green light and wait 5 seconds and hold up the 10 cars behind them. When they see green they go.
Because you are asking this question it seems like you dont have ADHD. You need to experience it first and then judge. We know what’s flying.
The reason we have so many smart famous people with ADHD is because they needed to fins something to keep them busy on their extra time. Very similar with driving, we keep ourselves busy on the road discovering new things. We are not stupid people. We are very smart. We want to know everything that goes on and that’s what makes us smart.
