  1. I do not personaly do not think that these 12 SUD’s are at all related to the use of Adderall. I am a strong believer in the utilizeation of stimulent’s in the treatment of many medical conditions such as ADD, ADHD, Anergic Depression, ect.. These medication in my oppinion, based on clinical knowledge and research, are VERY safe and have yet to see any serius adverse events.

    And to answer that last question no, methylphenidate is no safer than

    the tried and true amphetimine’s. And Cylert? WANT TO KEEP YOUR LIVER?!

  2. In my opinion, don’t ever take drugs from a doctor. Health Canada and the FDA do not care about curing disease, but rather being paid by pharmaceutical companies. Look into natural cures based on vitamins and minerals. You can cure anything with NO side effects. Health care in our countries is a complete SHAM. There are conflicts of interest throughout, which defeats the purpose of the system. In 30 years we haven’t made any progress on actually curing things. Drug companies get paid more by making it worse.
