Why do soooo many parents medicate their children for ADD/ADHD?
when there are so many articles like this
“The medications under the microscope are amphetamines like Dexedrine and Adderall, and methylphenidates like Concerta, Focalin, Metadate, Methylin and Ritalin.
The FDA will decide if patients need to be warned about an association with heart problems such as heart attacks, and psychiatric problems such as hallucinations, psychosis or mania in children. Black box warnings are serious markers of possible risk. The ADHD drug Strattera already carries a warning stating that it can increase suicidal thinking in teens”
Is it really worth these possible side effects?
No, it’s NOT worth it.
Unfortunately most parents go for the “quick fix” and take the teachers / schools / doctors advice, and never even bother to check out diet or disciplinary options.
It’s sad for the kids, because they’ll never know any different, and will probably suffer the side effects in the future.
My grandson was diagnosed ADD/ with mild Aspergers. His parents now have him on the Feingold diet, and he’s been doing wonderfully - with no more acting out !!
The FDA needs to do more - for the sake of our kids.
Good for you darlene1 !! Your son is very lucky to have such a caring mom. :o)
