[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to watch this but am hesitant because our teen was just diagnosed with adhd combo and after learning about adhd, it's clear DC has it. I'm sure it will have me second guessing using drugs but DC is so much happier being able to finally focus. The medicine is amazing. Grades went up immediately because learning could occur as well as focus.

DC only wants to take it for school days, never on weekends or holidays unless has homework. I do worry about college and I do hear from older cousins that pretty much everyone uses it.  DC uses an extended release version not Adderall which is shorter acting. [/quote]

To be fair...like PPs said, pretty much anyone who starts taking this regularly will have their grades go up immediately. It's legal speed[/quote]

So are you suggesting that people with ADHD not take it and suffer with their inability to focus, sit still, not chat with their neighbor, drive teachers nuts, get sent to do a lap in the hallway to work out the excess energy?  It's a hard decision that no parent I know of with a kid/teen with this diagnosis takes lightly. DS has an Ivy league level brain but couldn't organize the amazing connections he was making verbally on paper.  His sister has no ADHD and had no trouble with this and also performs at a high level but can get those thoughts out in an organized fashion.  My hope is that DS avoids the alcoholism or other drug choice other families members with undiagnosed adhd had. Time will tell and it's certainly a calculated risk - not a choice I'd wish on anyone. Taking it to get an edge if you don't have adhd is just plain stupid. [/quote]
