Was given ritalin at 18 ruined my personality. Horrible drug for me.

At 42 prescibed adderral game changer for me.
I have 100% positive experience because I am actually adhd and a self aware adult. If it makes you anything but less talkative, figity and relaxed you are either not adhd or it isnt right for you.

Give the teacher a break, I make the joke all the time. I wouldnt give that medication to anyone under college level. Look into the food at that age like others said.

We started using some b complex, Alpha GPC and its done wonders. so we are gonna stick with that. Also I did have a chat with the teacher worked that out as well. appreciate everyone who given their experience being on it and what to do instead.

Awesome!

Your child has a hard time focusing and paying attention in class for 8 hours per day.

Lets dive a little further

In an atmosphere which confines his movement, does not foster thought nor independence, does not adequately provide PE in the current era, feeds your kid (assuming he is buying lunch) absolute trash, artificial light all day, and most likely has to listen to a teacher whose dreams failed them a decade ago drone on about things he even as a child realizes is forced curriculum.

Respectfully, your kid sits in a prison cell all day. It literally sounds like hell to me.

This would be a HARD pass for me - adderral is amazing for individuals with low dopaminetic activity. Not kids being strapped to chairs expected to behave in a manner which is counter productive to millions of years of evolution.

Honestly - I don't like cursing on here as I feel it detracts from anything logical. But fuck your teacher.
