Re: Adderall and Ritalin for kids

I can't claim any knowledge on this subject, but I do have a story that makes you think. A close friend had a son in 2nd grade. He was doing poorly in school--he couldn't seem to pay attention, his schoolwork was lacking, he seemed to lose focus quickly. Before long, he was being prescibed a host of medicines including Ritalin, and I believe it was liquid Prozac. The side effects were horrifying to his mother. He went from being a happy if somewhat mischevious boy, to a shell of his former self. He wouldn't even eat. There were no appreciable results, but the school's administration (in Colorado) wouldn't let the boy attend school unless he took the meds daily.

After a series of events, it was finally discovered that the child wasn't sick at all. He needed glasses.

Now he's a successful, med-free, glasses-wearing 5th grader.
