Junkie:
You inquire,
âIs it safe for a 7 year old child to be taking 30+mgs of adderall?â Unequivocally no!
Methylphenidate (Adderall) is very similar to both
amphetamines and
cocaine, a drug used to treat (ADD) attention deficit-disorder, and (ADHD) attention deficit hyper-activity disorder, in mostly children. Children are being diagnosed with a list of behaviors that in 1987 was literally voted into existence by the American Psychiatric Association and inserted in the DSM-IV, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Within one year 500,000 children in the U.S. were diagnosed with the disorder.
There are absolutely no positive long-term effects of these medications on learning, academic standards, performances, and social behavior. Between the years of 1990-2000 over 569 children were hospitalized, 38 of them were life threatening hospitalizations, and 186 died from
Ritalin.
These drugs make children more manageable, not necessarily better. ADHD is a phenomenon, not a brain disease. Because the diagnosis of ADHD is fraudulent, it doesn't matter whether a drug works. Children are being forced to take a drug that is stronger than cocaine for a disease that is yet to be proven.
The use of Adderall has lifelong social consequences as well. In 1998, the U.S. military discharged more than 3,100 recruits with psychiatric histories, either in boot camp or within the first six months of enlistment. Documented cases of discharges ranged from recruits with lengthy psychiatric treatment, to those who had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The drugs prescribed for ADHD are amphetamine-like. Other drugs prescribed children include tranquilizers and, even, barbiturates. Few parents are warned that this fabricated diagnosis, and the customary subsequent prescription of dangerous, potentially addictive drugs, would disqualify their children from joining the armed forces to protect their country.
