I quickly became addicted to it and am still fighting my addiction. The thought of giving stimulants to children is appalling to say the least, and just yesterday I tried to convince a co-worker not to put her 6-yr old on Focalin. But I know my attempts at swaying her are futile, as she ignorantly trusts her doctors and the FDA. Oh, I forgot to mention, her 6-yr old gets 30 minutes of recess a day. No wonder she "has ADHD." She is not allowed to burn off her excess energy. The stimulant craze in the U.S. is epidemic and I see no end to it in sight. Sad, sad story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
