They made me take many terrible drugs like Ritalin, Dexedrine and others that made me feel unimaginably sad. Every single simple thing in life made me scared because of these drugs; it destroyed parts of my brain. I would have insane paranoia, adrenalin burst, terrifying fears, I felt like the ground was always shaking. Imagine this going on for almost 4 years. I used to be very smart, still am, but not as much, spoke many languages, was one of the best students at my school. I believe it all started when my stupid dentist made me take large fluoride supplements witch made me have fake adhd (fluoride is very bad for your brain). I never had any cavities since I never at sugary junk food, why did he give me this toxic chemical in the first place, and why is fluoride legal? They put me on some of the most toxic drugs on earth because of the problems created by florid. I’m pissed off because I can see I’m having horrific problems now at 18 years of age. I haven’t smiled for years, I can’t smile anymore, can’t laugh unless it’s terribly funny. I had a heart attack when I was 16, that’s when I starter reading on websites about pharmaceutical lies. Somehow having to go see a team of doctors that studied me and made me take more drugs seemed normal, I can now see that this is RIDICULOUS, I want to sue them, I am so mad about this, they destroyed my life. When I was about to kill myself, (Ritalin makes you feel like your whole family died everyday!!) I realised that the drugs were causing this and that it isn’t normal to feel like this. The doctors told me that the drugs were good for my health, had no side effects, so I gullibly believed theme at age 13. One day I hid the pills and lied that I was taking them, I started to feel better after a month. Even after stopping, I would still wake up with a terrible thumping, it was my heart failing. What saved me? I took my health into my own hands, I did about 100 colon cleanses, taken about 700 multi vitamins since, green supplements with veggies from all over the world, omega 3s with DHA and EPA, and a whole lot of organic food. I feel great now, but it seems that my brain is damaged forever, my heart weakened permanently and I have a VERY weird and slow sexual drive. I wish I could go to court against the big pharmaceuticals, I want revenge, I would love to see my old doctors and have them jail or hanged and have them each say sorry a few thousand times. Pharmaceuticals are drug pushers who don’t care about you and only want to make money even if they have to bribe the FDA to approve their terrible drugs. 97% of all drugs cause problems and cure nothing.

Im so glad I found this post because I dont know anyone who knows this situation. Im am in my early 20s and I was put on ritalin at the age of 10 for adhd without any therapy to go with it. I took it for 11 years and I have to say it most certainly has ruined my life...or at least i suppose has made it more difficult. I didnt realize I was getting high before all of the other kids in my class. I remember feeling so empty and 'not there' in the afternoons but not understanding why. As wierd as it sounds, even years after I feel the same way every afternoon without the drug. I have permanent muscle tics, and my gosh I could probably go on forever.... I am off ritalin now because I underwent major depression last year partly because of having my ritalin dose raised and then switching to concerta(extended release) and having a bad psychological reaction to it and I was so thin i looked like a skeleton, I have been called "anorexic" my whole life even though Im not because of the side effects. After all this time I not only have adhd but as of last year Im bipolar 2 as well...I am being treated for both and am still taking a stimulant drug, adderall xr for adhd and Im still underweight although doing very well, I really wish I never started on ritalin in the first place. I completely understand although havent had a heart attack, I had awful heart problems I never told anyone about(stupid) but because of ritalin i have experienced every symptom of a heart attack althought i dont think I have ever had one...and the only reason i know that is because i havent died yet. I most certianly have destroyed my body with it, I dont want to say too much on the net im a lil paranoid. But i just want you to know you can still do whatever you want. I am in college now and i have a 3.8 GPA, and i hardly ever take the adderall. Im going to be a teacher If i can do it, you can too. <3
