The Great Mystery About The Long Term Effects Of Taking ADHD Medications
Why do I use the word ‘mystery’? Think about how long Ritalin , one of the most common ADHD drugs , has been on the market. Forty years ! Now, that should be long enough to assess the long term effects of taking ADHD medications, you would have thought. Wrong again ! The studies done on Ritalin are generally very short term and no long term studies have been done and if they have, they have been locked away by the drug companies, as their findings could damage the market for Ritalin. The components which are in these drugs are a mix of amphetamines , such as methylphenidate in Ritalin and dextroamphetmaine which is in Dexedrine. Nobody will deny that these psychostimul
