I have a child that is ADHD and had been on the 36mg concerta until I took her of it as I found she was too much into herself and too quiet, she was of it for 4 months but noticed her concentration was very poor and her homework was impossible for her to complete, both my husband and myself discussed this and thought it better to give a trial run on the new 27mg that had just came out ,six weeks in and she is completing her homework and her schooling has come on her behaviour can be managed. A lesson from this affair is that the general public, and the media, should be much more sceptical of psychiatric researchers when they discuss "the latest study."įirstly I think Craig needs to be taken of his medication if its not working, he needs to know that his parents are there for him and needs a lot of support and therapy to help him with his ADHD he is crying out for help in the only way he knows how, he has built up a lot of anxiety and anger because he has never had any boundaries. The main stream psychiatry profession completely ignored them. ![]() I would love to see Panorama cover the scandal of the millions of autistic children who could be recovered if only doctors would listen.Īt the time the MTA study was published there were plenty of people pointing out the problems with the study. Being drug-free, these interventions receive little or no research funding and are dismissed by the medical profession (who, themselves, are in the pockets of the big pharma companies). The Autism Research Institute has been investigating drug-free interventions for years that are healing children across the autistic spectrum every day all over the world. I was pleased to see the folly of routine drug prescriptions exposed but disappointed not to hear any positive coverage of treatments that really DO work. It was never claimed, at any point, that Ritalin would be a miracle cure. It was also made abundantly clear that medication was only part of treatment as was behaviour management and involvement from services. When I discussed medication with a child psychiatrist possible side affects were highlighted, as was the fact that it was not a cure. Unfortunately, some people may not know where to get such information and base their decisions on one sided tripe doled out by people that should know better. I have a child who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD and aspergers syndrome, my decision to try medication was made based on academic and statistical information as well as opinions from experts and people with personal experience. I was very disappointed that a programme such as panorama could portray a condition in such a biased way, it did nothing but scaremonger. In a similar scandal to the Seroxat issue that was raised by Panorama, The MHRA will not allow data relating to the known risk of suicide for children on the ADHD drug Strattera to be revealed. The frightening truth is that ADHD drugs have harmed and killed many children. There is absolutely no proven biological cause for ADHD but the use of drugs is based on the misconception that organic causes of the condition can be fixed by the drugs. ![]() Read Shelley Jofre's response to your comments Where there are several threads from parents of children with ADHD. ![]() You can still join a discussion on the Ouch!
