[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The studies of long term use report mixed results [/quote] Are there any that show affirmative harm/worse outcomes as compared to a group of children with ADHD who are unmedicated their entire lives? I feel like so often we get people here who point to the fact that ADHD medication doesn't "cure" ADHD as proof that medication doesn't work, as opposed to realizing that if you can take medication you're entire life and have that relieve the symptoms, that's a success compared to the alternative. ADHD meds don't cure ADHD anymore than insulin cures Type I diabetes, but I don't think anyone would say insulin is a failure as a treatment for it. [/quote]
