Reply #19: Just because it worked for you!!??

[Mr_Spock]

We tried vitamins, therapy, neurotherapy, diet, allergies, everything you can possibly think of. My child would have been kicked into a special educational environment if it wasn't for Concerta. It has been like a MIRACLE for her. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about - everyone thinks their personal experience should speak for everyone - you would DESTROY MY CHILD'S LIFE just to make you feel better?? Makes me wonder how compassionate liberals really are sometimes.

Those people in this thread bashing away at the 0.37% (1 in 270) chance of an issue of having these thoughts don't care about my child or anybody else's, they only care about bashing the pharmaceutical companies for their own personal agenda. My child has been allowed to live a somewhat normal (mainstream educated) existence with ADHD medication, talk therapy and neurotherapy (brain wave training) and it's still an extremely difficult road to hoe for everyone involved.

A doctor on a morning show today said it best - "don't stop taking the medication - ask your child questions every day - work with your doctor - don't just give the child medication and forget it." I couldn't have said it better myself.
