wasup1 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hey, i was given Ritalin when i was 4 yrs old, and stoped about 4-6 years afterwards, does anyone know what this can do to someone around that age?For instance, i checked on the internet for some information, and i found out that in rats, they gave them Ritalin when they were just babies, and now, when they got old. They figured out that Ritalin decreases the chance of new brain cells forming and decreases the chance of them actually living. From what i have heard, is that Ritalin actually makes alot of ppl with ADHD slower than what they will be like when they are older. might explain why im slow lots of times.Any more information would be greatly apreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ASchwartz Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 wasup1,There's much more interesting things to be curious about. The ritalin did not harm you. By the way, "what is up" with you these days. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
