ADHD Medicine - Looking At The Risks And Considering Safer Alternatives

ADHD Medicine - Looking At The Risks And Considering Safer Alternatives

Given that approximately eight out of every hundred children between five and eighteen are likely to have ADHD, there is rising concern about ADHD medicine. Apart from the side effects which are well known, there is a lot of worry among parents that these drugs may be misused by their children or passed on to their classmates.

Adderall, one of the drugs most commonly prescribed is very popular as a study aid. Then there are all the risks of teenagers wanting to get high. That is why Adderall can fetch up to $15 a tablet on the school parking lot. This activity is known as 'pharming'.

Other shocking figures reveal that about 10% of teens have admitted that they abuse medicines and this is mostly ADHD medicine. The temptation to use these drugs to get high, cram for exams and get a brilliant mark are very strong indeed. The teens who misuse these drugs are liable to become addicted to them. There may be some nasty side effects too and they can feel very jittery, nervous, moody and have a faster heart beat. As to the longer side term side effects of this abuse, it is too early to say.

Very few people realize that this sort of misuse is a felony as these drugs are Schedule II drugs and they can only be legally used with a doctor's prescription. But many teens, especially college students, get over that problem by faking their symptoms and they can actually get the prescription themselves.

There must be safer alternatives to this sort of ADHD medicine abuse and misuse. Fortunately there are and my favorite one is a homeopathic remedy for ADHD. If your children are on these remedies and their classmates get to know about it, they will never ever be approached on the school parking lot to sell them! These preparations cannot be misused and nobody would be bothered anyway because they would not have the desired effect.

But for ADHD patients, they are a godsend because they restore a lost balance and have no side effects at all. There are no risks of heart conditions, sudden death, strokes, insomnia, eating disorders or stunted growth which have all been associated with the conventional ADHD medicine which is mostly controlled use of amphetamines.

If you would like to know more about these preparations and how you can order them from a FDA approved facility, you can visit my website for more information. I know parents who sleep peacefully now because there is no risk at all of their teens getting on the drugs abuse treadmill.
