Yeah I have never been so much as a day late on the child support stuff. They don't mess around the dead beat dads get away with it but I'm not that guy. I make a three hour one way trip every weekend to get my daughter and I have her any time I am not in school. I try not to rock the boat because until now we have been able to keep everything on an even and amicable keel so to speak. The more you can keep the govt out of stuff like this the better of you are. It;s just times here and there it gets touchy.

Wow, sounds just like what the doctor ordered. I was diagnosed with a pretty bad case of ADHD and was on ritalin for a year or two. I honestly feel that's what allowed me to graduate high school. I stopped taking it and flunked out of college. Who the hell can I go see about finding out if this could be beneficial for me? I'm about to start school again in the spring next year and I'd like to finish it this time.

In my opinion my daughter is fine, she has her spells but this diagnosis came from a general practioner in our area.
Like others have mentioned, I would talk to a specialist. There are lots of good drugs out there that can help people a lot. They also seem to hand them out like candy w/o much testing

Adderall is prescription crystal meth. I wouldn't give to a 7 year old. Sounds like some of you in are denial about your addiction. TEX02SS?
"Usually you will experience a 'high' when you first take it--it's almost euphoric. This is why it is sometimes taken recreationally. It will usually even out thereafter and then trail off as the drug exits your system. This is usually followed by a 'downer' episode where you feel drained, and possibly tired, moody etc. It also can decrease or suppress your appetite. That is a case-by-case basis though. It did not really alter mine at all. "

Let me follow up my last post by stating that I'm not trying indicate anyone is "wrong" for taking it. Lord knows I've done my share of experimentation. I just don't think this should be given to a child.

i had to take it when I was younger it sucks ***. the down time is terrible you go through anger and different moods quickly. It may effect different people differently though, but my grades got a little better when I finally quit taking it and got help after school by the teacher my grades were the same as taking adderall. If it was me I wouldn't put my child on it.

They said they would start with 10Mg and go from there and observe her over the course of a month. This same quack also prescribed it to her other 5 year old if you see where I am coming from. She has five other kids so I see where this is going. In my opinion my daughter is fine, she has her spells but this diagnosis came from a general practioner in our area. I feel as though something as important as this needs deeper investigation and to be prescribed and observed by a specialist in the field. I am involved in the school district but not one she is in and have not had time tonight to talk with our diagnostician to see what the exact steps are. If you have a few minutes please talk with me about this. If you do not want to post here pm me. At this point I am beside myself and not sure what to do. It's times like this i am glad I have stayed single to this point. My daughter is seven
Thanks one upset dad!!!@
