Our politicians would allow a store that just sells them to be put in every city and hold conventions just for the meds if it killed the kids instead of helping them.
FYI, ADD or ADHD medication users are disqualified from joining the U.S. military.
@@gordy577 That's discrimination... You can sue them for this.
Interesting. A good way to get out of conscription.
@@gordy577I chatted with US Army recruiters just 2 days ago and asked about if ADHD still would disqualify you and they said that you can still join the military after an evaluation which requires to see how your behavior is different without medication because what if you don't have your medication to help you out
Thank god I never planned on joining
its ridiculous, cant get the med that allows me to think like a normal person.
BIDEN signed an executive order to control and strictly regulate this medication and even tampering with the formula to try and change it on March 7, 2023
I suffer without my adhd medication. Luckily my pharmacy knows me so well and alerts me when adderall xr is available.
I hope you're doing well. Just wanted to let you know that I'm here as a direct supplier for medicines. If there's anything you need, please feel free to reply, and I'll be more than happy to assist you. Take care.
Ive been diagnosed with adhd since I was 11 and took amphetamines for a decade, Ive also worked in pharmacies for 12 years. Please dont take this poison. It doesnt make you a better person just an addict with numb emotions and senses. There are other ways we can overcome our disorder that dont involve a schedule 2 narcotic.
You guys are lucky. Stimulant manufacturing and sales is prohibited here in Nepal. And I have to use atomoxetine. 😢Beggars can't be choosers I guess
All part of the plan folks.
Overly medicated kids headed back to school.
Generation tik tok
Worse when parents take their kids off the meds when the school year starts and think just because they're in the classroom environment they'll be OK. NO, instead now their behavior is acting as a trigger to disrupt the entire class.
Neutering decreases the urge to roam
1000%
We need to change the way we are educating our children in the US. European countries allow kids to *MOVE* throughout the day. We have such high expectations of these little ones! As a child who grew up in the 1970's, we had plenty of time for lunch, music, gym, recess, art, etc. Schools these days are shortening those fun periods and cramming in more academics. It's not working!!!
I wonder if these kids are being over-medicated.
Of course they are. And here we have the media making a huge drama over it. These kids are having amphetamine withdraws
Or under-medicated. My friend's son was having a tough time in school, both behavior and academically. Started meds for ADHD turned him around within a couple weeks. Weened down the dosage a tad and still doing great. So many kids are in the schools disrupting learning for others and themselves.
@@cavemancaveman9746 Oh, well, if it worked on your friend's kid, it must work for everyone.
@@davemathews7890 Likewise, if you wonder about it, then it must be true.
I believe a lot of parents is using their children to get this drug……
Drugging kids is wrong!
Do you have add ?
@@holahola6860Yes
@@holahola6860combined adhd, primarily inattentive.
Some kids really benefit from ADHD meds. They can't learn and can't behave without it.
I've had no problem getting mine. Probably because the one I take doesn't have a brand name equivalent so it kinda flies under radar. I've got a huge back stock too. (Like a 1-year supply).
@Threefiddy Who is? If you're talking about me, I wish. I'm too scared to "share" my supply for fear of legal consequences and losing my prescription. I assume the DEA is watching or controlling all those accounts.
DESPERATION AND PANIC, SHORTAGE OF EVERYTHING, everything on the rise that hurts us 🤔 NOW TIME 4 A BRONX TALE AI, CAME AS TROUBLE, NOW YOU CANT LEAVE, HOWS THAT TIC TOC
#Unreal #Simulation
Unreal
Why would you have two children if one has adhd already though
LOL, you act like it's planned.
@@caucasianafrican1435 Right?! Surprise surprise mummy & daddy weren't planning for your bundle of joy lol
Oh no guess you'll have to get you fix some other way😂
Gonna be a lot of school shootings this year 😮
Not for this reason, though...
@@jeffreymarra231 are you high the only thing all these mass shooters have in common are the smorgasbord of anti depressants and god knows what else they are on ...let me guess your one of these it's only the AR-15 fault .....I hate you idiots that are completely oblivious to riot cause ......how bout that Nashville shooters manifesto were not allowed to see 🤔
@jeffreymarra231 The reason for them will be Biden voters listening to the poison of their Fuhrer, which is ALWAYS how it is.
