Drug Abuse

Question by georgy: d’ya think i should ask a doctor if i have add or adhd?
so it’s 6am lol, i’ve stayed up all night trying to write something for english, but every time i start to write i get distracted and do something else. i’ve been looking at a lot of drugs, mainly pot lol, and then adarall, which is an adhd drug i guess, and some guy said it made him do school better, and that reminded me of my little brother, who had adhd and took ridillin or whatever, and that made him calm down i guess.

idk, basically i’m socially awkward, easily distracted, and 3 of my step brothers have mental problems lol. and when i was a kid, i guess the school wanted to put me on meds but my parents didn’t want to… i think i’ll buy some adarall on the street and see what happens =p
eh sorry jerry, it seems that argument uses drug addiction and growth slowing as backing, i’m not worried about those things, so i’m still goin for adarall. that adhd self quiz was kind of cheezy i thought.

Questionairres for ADD or ADHD are at http://counsellingresource.com/quizzes/adhd/index.html (24 questions) & http://www.oneaddplace.com/add-test.php & http://addtestonline.com/ & http://psychcentral.com/ Go to : “QUIZZES AND TESTS: ADHD” & http://www.dore.com.au/ Print the completed ones, and take to a doctor, but avoid street drugs; you don’t really know what, or how old they are.

I don’t recommend any of the powerful, and addictive central nervous system stimulants. An increased incidence of abuse of cocaine, crack cocaine, crystal meth, and other amphetamines has been reported among users of Ritalin, and other amphetamine related medications, which may well predispose them to later abuse street drugs, with all the undesirable consequences involved. The only ADHD medication not in the stimulant family is Strattera, which is structurally related to the antidepressants, and carries risks, and side effects of its own.
Take at least 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or its FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it.

Eat more in accordance with your “nutritional type”:- ( 20 question quiz http://www.naturalhealthcoach.com/tools ) or a book is at http://www.mercola.com/ and also enter “krill oil”, & “ADHD” in their searchbar. Eliminate, or minimise sugar use, replacing with xylitol, or stevia (health food stores). Avoid artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, preservatives, & MSG. Minimise highly processed grains, & alcohol use. Read: “The A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. Diet! A Comprehensive Look at Contributing Factors and Natural Treatments for Symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity” by Rachel Bell, and “Ritalin Is Not The Answer: A Drug-Free, Practical Program for Children Diagnosed with ADD or ADHD” by David B. Stein. You could try your bookstore, www.amazon.com , (also enter in their searchbar: “ADHD; natural treatments”).

If you ask, you probably get “yes” answer and you get drugs. Pharmaceutical companies will welcome you as their lifetime and never cured customer trying to cure unbearable side effects of one drug with another drug. The drugs will not turn you into an intelligent, smart and outgoing person. You become a zombie or a maniac. Avoid drugs. If you don’t, good luck, you’re playing russian roulette with your life.

Watch few minutes video with Dr. Mary Ann Block to find answers you are looking for.

Dr. Mary Ann Block
“Because of my medical training, my goal as a physician is to look for and treat the underlying conditions causing the patient’s problem, rather than just covering up those symptoms with drugs. I have seen and treated thousands of children from all over the United States, who had previously been labeled ADHD and treated with amphetamine drugs. By taking a thorough history and giving these children a complete physical exam as well as doing lab tests and allergy testing, I have consistently found that these children do not have ADHD, but instead have allergies, dietary problems, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems and learning difficulties that are causing their symptoms. All of these medical and educational problems can be treated, allowing the child to be successful in school and life, without being drugged.”

Quote:

“Even when Ritalin is used as prescription drug, it may have severe side effects including nervousness, insomnia, anorexia (eating disorder), pulse changes, heart problems and weight loss. The manufacturer says it is a drug of dependency.
In June 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a series of public health advisories warning that Ritalin and drugs like it may cause visual hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, psychotic behavior, as well aggression and violence behavior.”
