[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is quick to diss the methylphenidate given out to the kids, but I was diagnosed at age 35 (I’m a woman) and taking methylphenidate was absolutely life changing for me. My anxiety disappeared, I could work harder and better than ever before, and I felt like I could finally be myself. Why wouldn’t we want to give this to our kids if needed? My daughter takes it now and she is also very happy to have it. It’s been tested for many years and is very safe for kids. [/quote] Wait until you are on max dose due to tolerance. But as your post illustrates very clearly, ADHD meds are clearly performance-enhancing drugs. I just find it so hypocritical that the (often progressive) parents who get really offended when Asian parents send their kids to Kumon/AoPS to get ahead and place into G&T programs, wouldn’t hesitate to doctor shop and put their tweens on meth analogues to get some academic advantage. You see it on FB groups all the time. [/quote]
