ADHD Meds: Not What We Thought!

Turns out Adderall and Ritalin don’t just help kids with ADHD focus by targeting attention networks. New brain scans show these meds actually boost alertness and make boring stuff (like homework) feel a bit more rewarding. It’s more about keeping kids awake and motivated than directly fixing attention. Wild, right? Docs say this could change how we think about ADHD treatment and maybe even how we diagnose it in the future. #Health #BodyHealth #ADHD

Stimulants, like Adderall, are great for motivation. Non-stimulants, like Strattera, aren't so good. I'm over 50 and used both long enough to understand them. I do not recommend Strattera for anyone, unless you want your mind to be a horror film.

Sadly, many people that are on these become addicted, and they're not talking about that part, they don't work for everybody, and they don't monitor people enough to make sure they're not developing an addiction.And when they become addiction , it ruins their lives

I've been on Ritalin and Adderall both made me tired and killed my appetite.... not sure if thats normal or not.... I would only eat once a day and I had to force myself to eat a bowl of cheerios..... I was a literal zombie.... focus didnt happen cause I failed 6-8th grade...
