Explain to me what ADD medication is "supposed" to do,
What 3 classes of drug are available to do this
And why Adderall is number one.
Then finially, explain to me how rare the receptor issue is supposedly, and compare that to examples of these "studies".
Ps. No. Do you just believe anyone that disagrees with you is instantly a conspirator? I don't take ADD medication.

As far as I know he's right that the extremists HERE are a political terror myth, while Christians really do prosecute people for being gay here, and I'm transgender, so.
But no. I was pointing out how ironic your answer is in comparison to his statement. You basically disregarded everything he said and just spoke about freedom and what it costs.
I don't particularly like Muslims more than cheisitian, but I'm not interested enough to talk about taking it that far in a weed thread. Most of my dislike is the way they dress. I'm gay remember, they both treat me like #, at least Christians know how to dress.

All of your studies are not considering:
Do these people have ADD?
It might as well be titled:
Are drugs you don't need to take harmful?
Did you know chemotherapy causes cancer even though it's one of the best ways to treat it? I'm sure they tested it on people that didn't have cancer to make sure it's appropriate. Wait no, that wouldn't be smart.

I'm not going to argue with a man, that believes in a fairytale man, that said you should never hate anyone ever, about his violence being less than "stoned to death", being acceptable.
I'm not personally holding you accountable to the hypocrisy of your group and their actions, but you can't deny it's there.
As to what the fairytale man said, if you had to weigh if that part was more important, or if being gay was more important, he'd probably love me.
I'm not even racist. Mexicans are my least favorite.
They're all still favorites.

And if misdiagnosed? ??
How you cannot comprehend that's the issue blows me away.
Useless studies. The receptors issue is rare. The media made it seem like 9/10 freaking people have it. It doesn't surprise me 9/10 "ADD cases" don't respond well to medication. They're MISDIAGNOSED.

I'm just going to laugh at you because you don't understand about flipping the receptors.
It's as simple as this:
Dumbass mom thinks sugar-eater kid has ADD takes him to doctor and demands medication.
Any study aiming at the big players of the ADD drugs (both stimulants) only hate the idea of CHILDREN ON STIMULANTS. I agree that's particularly absurd because a STIMULANT makes them LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE add.
Because real ADD has flipped receptors the way your child reacts is extremely important. If they DON'T calm down and THE MEDICATION DOESN'T WORK OR MAKES IT WORSE they don't have flipped receptors and they need a SEDATIVE.
What does longterm effects of taking ADD meds without having ADD cause? It CAUSES BRAIN DAMAGE normally.
This is all disclosing the fact THERE IS SAFE MEDICATIONS that flip receptors that aren't STIMULANT or SEDATIVE and makes them more calm at the RISK OF ALMOST NOTHING.

If you give someone a Stimulant and they react like it's a Sedative, they have ADD simple as that.
If they don't, you need to stop giving them Stimulants immediately. Sedative meds for ADD are cutting losses. This is why there are even Sedative treatments now. It's for people that have "ADD" NOT ADD.
CEM treatments have no risk.

There isn't a SINGLE Wikipedia that doesn't mention this. Apparently you and these doctors haven't heard of Wikipedia. Google one of the drugs. # it. I'll find you a link because you can't type Adderall Wiki into google.
