Should I give my kid Adderall? My doctor prescribed it to him, but I don't know if I want to do it?

Wikipedia has nothing but good things about Aderall: --quote-- Adderall is commonly prescribed as a psychostimulant treatment for children and adults with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Depending on dosage, the beneficial effects of stimulant medications can last several hours, allowing improved performance throughout the day. Compared to the similar medication methylphenidate (sold under the brand name Ritalin and others) studies have suggested that Adderall is slightly more potent and has a longer period of efficacy, especially at lower doses.

For those who experience adverse side effects to Ritalin or for whom Ritalin has become ineffective, Adderall is often recommended as a substitute. --/quote-- Your doctor's medical opinion is even stronger evidence for the benefits of this drug, as s/he has studied for years to be in his/her profession.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
