Hi everyone
I don't know if its already been mentioned but the children with ADHD are
not the only children using Ritalin and dextramphetamine(?). Siblings of
children who have been prescribed the medications can sell these at
school. I have heard one boy tell of how he was prescribed Ritalin but
didn't like taking them. He believed his behaviour was fine. He swapped
the tablets at school for grass. I have also heard of Medical students
taking them as a study aid.
