How do "many kids no longer need medication when they reach adulthood"? Do they just quit when they go off to college where they can do what they want? Are they afraid of mixing the prescribed meds with recreational ones in college? [/quote]

I'm glad you are asking questions because you do have quite a bit to learn.

Like any medication, a person goes off of it under a doctor's care.  Our developmental pediatrician thinks all kids should try going off their meds before they go to college to see if they still need them.  For some reason, the additional brain development teens go through can often take them beyond the need for ADHD meds.  Others still have ADHD.

I'll ignore the last part since your list of people whom you distain is just too lengthy to respond to.[/quote]
So the "additional brain development" can balance their "chemical imbalance"? [/quote]

Okey dokey - Take a gander at this link and learn a thing or two.  http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/index.shtml?utm_source=REFERENCES_R7[/quote]
