Scouter Al asked:
My question would be about "Turrett's Syndrome" (sp) did you taking Ritalin
result in Turrett's syndrome?
Put another way, from your perspective could you have become the person you are
today without the drug?
----- End Included Message -----
There is a medication called 'Cylert' that works like Ritalin, but, doesn't
have the same adverse effect as Ritalin on Turrett's.
I am 36 and was recently diagnosed as ADD and started on Ritalin, my son (10yr)
is ADHD and also on Ritalin. My life has improved in many ways since, ie; job
performance, impulse spending, paying bills (and getting them in the mail too)
consistancy with my children, etc. I think if I had been diagnosed at an early
age and treated (girls didn't have ADD until about 5 yr ago) I would have had
alot better opinion of myself instead of always viewing myself as a failure.
