iso your opinions

It's a very bad thing for kids. We should not be giving our children meth because they are acting like children. I don't think its much better for older people, it often leads to abuse.

lol it's not meth dude. Meth is way more intense.

If your trying to study really hard, or focus on something intensly for the next 24 hours, then it's great.
If your just looking for a body high or something, then there's no point.

Ritalin is bad, though.. think it does something to your brain. Pretty sure if you've taken Ritalin, they won't even let you in the army anymore

Why take mind altering drugs to cover up the real problem

No one who ever took this medecine got better and then got off it. Its a load of crap

Its an Amphetamine based pharmaceutical(Adderal). Ritalin is a chemical drug similar to Amphetamine, but distinct in chemistry. They both are psychostimulants, which means they are "uppers". The drugs should be taken seriously and not prescribed to an overly bothersome child because it can significantly alter psychological development.

ADD/ADHD appears to be a behavioral issue, not a a pharmaceutical issue. Cognitive behavioral therapy works wonders.

ive taken both in many different ways, liquid, pills, snorting.
they are drugs so there is no way in hell they are healthy for you but, they do have positive effects depending on your needs.

ritalin is great for mild add and if your looking to study or pay attention.

aderol the effect it had on me was awesome, it was a mild dose of morphine.

There are actually a lot of people that are helped immensely from Adderal. Adderal isn't a medicine you take to "get better" since most people who take it have ADD/ADHD or a related learning disability. Those are not curable conditions.

maybe not, but i think doctors (and mostly parents) are too quick to hand out these types of drugs to children.

That's probably true, but to say that Adderal doesn't help anybody is simply retarded.
