Sell them at a college around finals for 15-20 bucks a pill. its amazing money.

I actually have a hard time paying attention to things around me some of the time. This includes school and even having small conversation with the people around me. I haven't taken ADD medications long-term to this date and I've been "diagnosed" with add, but I learn to live with it. Shitty parents or not, it might have something to do with genetics and not something you just grow up with. Not everyone is perfect SN, so I don't see why you think that ADD is complete BS. Please explain why you think ADD/ADHD is completely stupid and shouldn't even be brought up in the forums? Thanks!

Well, i'm sure he would agree that there is a disorder called ADD. Problem is that doctors diagnose any kid that fidgets in his/her seat and would rather pay less attention to their teacher and more attention to what else is going on. 95% of people diagnosed with it don't actually have it. It's just an easy way to deal with these little common problems parents are having with their kids. Far easier to throw pills and pointless labels at lazy, stupid or hyper kids than it is to sit down and put out some actual effort to fix the problem. A large amount of the kids should have been disciplined more often rather than medicated or tutored instead of sedated and ignored.

The reason THIS shouldn't have been brought up is because there are so many fucking threads just like this that it'd be simple (even for kidiots) to find the god damn search function or click the page-2 button. Put out a little effort to help yourself before getting angry at the results of your thread. I highly doubt you have ADD dude. Man the fuck up and actually attempt to learn. It's more/equally as likely you either aren't trying very hard and expect some medication to make things easy or you're just not that intelligent. I was also "diagnosed" with ADD and ADHD but I realized after a short time that the meds are bullshit and all it takes is some real effort.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

You gotta be shitting me. I felt shiesty enough selling a 20 mg IR for $4.

ADD is, actually, in fact you not giving a fuck. ADD is apathy, rebellion, laziness, and the lack of discipline and mental training. I bet you'd pay attention if someone was about to chop your dick off.

You can't remember what you read because you weren't reading. You were looking at a series of symbolically depicted ideas which didn't register in your skull past their acknowledgment. In essence, due to your predisposition (also known as zzzzzz syndrome,) you're emotionally interpreting the fact that you're reading. You're fucking sitting there, actively paying attention to the wrong things.

When's the last time you made a connection towards what you read? You dissociated, clueless motherfucker.

Of course, the fact that pharmaceutical companies, which pay the government openly, are providing you with drugs that government sanctioned doctors casually prescribe out of ignorance is fucking dandy.

Interpret, analyze, utilize, exploit.

My ability to concentrate was at its peak when I was in grade 8. Funny, that's when I first began to discern that I had been discontent...


Scope of practice

While the medical specialty of psychiatry utilizes research in the field of neuroscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience), psychology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology), medicine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine), biology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology), biochemistry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry), and pharmacology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology), -------------
it has generally been considered a middle ground between neurology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurology) and psychology.
------------
Unlike other physicians and neurologists, psychiatrists specialize in the doctor-patient relationship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor-patient_relationship) and are trained in the use of psychotherapy and other therepautic communication techniques.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry#cite_note-Shorter326-1) Psychiatrists can therefore prescribe medication, order laboratory tests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_laboratory), utilize neuroimaging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging) in a clinical setting, and conduct physical examinations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_examination).[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry#cite_note-NIMHSite-15)



I took the liberty of emphasizing the main points for you.

I love you moonius. Excellent, fucking excellent reply.


You notice that as corporal punishment has left the schools, ADD has been on the rise? Yep, nothing like the threat of a wooden paddle with holes drilled in it to keep you the fuck in line.

You get hit with one of those motherfuckers and you figure out how to pay attention REAL fucking quick.


I got swats in like every grade up until 5th grade. It was always because of never doing my homework though. I payed attention, and aced tests, but thought homework was a fucking waste of time, and so the shit would pile up and pile up, next thing I know my ass is getting beat with that holey paddle. I caught that homework up real fucking quick.

Yeah, I was diagnosed with ADD by some shitty old arab lady who did one test and concluded I had it. In fact, I had manic depression (bipolar), and I'm telling you...having any other illness and taking concerta is ate the fuck up. I was young and loved to speed and basically by pill force myself to concentrate insanely on anything around me...I went completely batshit insane....(this along with the fact that I was almost beaten to death in my sleep with a pipe etc etc...after that I wouldn't leave my house and all I would do is take 108+ mg of concerta daily, every day). I did lose about...well over 100 lbs, I was a fatty :p but at my worst point, taking concertas, not sleeping, not talking to anyone in the outside world whatsoever (having contact with not a single person ever), I remember one night I was running down the stairs and I saw my shadow and it nearly stopped my heart; I thought someone was in my fucking house. Don't ask me why I was even walking around a completely black house...they just push concertas on kids that in fact are lazy; that's really it. Then again, it works just like any other neurological disorder...you can't necessarily prove that anxiety even exists, although there are lots of people who beg to differ so arguing about it is pretty retarded.

Haha yea, ADD in a way probably IS bullshit. They've given me concerta in the past, but all it did was give me a stomache ache. I stopped taking meds and just learned that it just takes a bit of willpower and a little training. Now, I've noticed I have a hard time paying attention when the subject i'm reading/thinking about doesn't interest me much, but at the same time it might be important to learn about it. Are there any tricks to help yourself feel more motivated?

exercise, healthy foods etc. Basically a healthy lifestyle.
