Promoting drugs again, Markey?  The promo doesn't even mention the fact
that Canada has pulled Adderall due to instances of sudden death.
Hopefully, Ty will remain one of the lucky ones.  But who knows?

Oh, come on Peter.   After death the parents don't have to cope with their
brats if the brats die.  I use the term brat as what the parents think of
their untrained children.
There are a lot suicides also, for people who can't cope. These are
prescribed suicides.  (No fault deaths)

Markey is Ty's daddy?  You're right, Ty is in serious trouble.

AFAIK, Canada reversed it's 02/05 ban of Adderall XR in 8/05.

I don't suppose the reversal brought those dead kids back to life?
Canada has a history of pandering to pharmaceutical interests; a
temporary ban on dangerous drugs is just PR to quiet down public
outcry.  Think Vioxx.

We are not discussing Vioxx. And, the above paragraph is devoid of

It's not my job to prove your sponsors' noxious poisons are dangerous,
Markey, it's your job to prove they aren't.

Aderall and Vioxx experienced a temporary ban in order to quet down
public outcry, however.  Unfortunately, neither action brought the dead
back to life.

noxious poisons are dangerous,
> Markey, it's your job to prove they aren't.

Sorry, boob, but you made a claim when you implied that Adderall was the
cause of death. You should be able to prove it, or acknowledge that you
were posting flatulence again.

If you bother to look, which would be a first, you would not find any
evidence of a causal connection. The fact is that some people taking the
medication died. Whether there is a link or not is unproven. Of course,
unproven information is your expertise.

Prove that Adderall was the proximate cause, or even a remote cause of
the deaths. You cannot. You are blowing smoke. Your specialty.

Wow....there is no evidence....then some died.

The entire site is just about the most ignorant presentation I have ever
seen.

As someone who has actually had some training in psychology or behavioral
science, I can say that it is an excellent illustration of sick science and
a money making scam.

UNBELIEVABLE that people get sucked into that trash.

It makes as much sense as a parent joining a certain Islam sect and
strapping dynamite to their kids and telling them they are expected to take
some dogs with them.  THEY absolutely believe the nonsense.  There is no
logic to change their mind.

Absolutely pitiful.

How can ANY intelligent person, even without training fall for that, except
to use as a failure excuse.

See above answer.

When in doubt use drugs or alcohol.  You will have a lot of believers and
get a lot of sympathy.

The analagy is precisely right on.

Some Meds CHANGE behavior.  Those meds are classed as drugs.  Alcohol is in
the same class.

To the people who decide they can't cope or are TAUGHT that they can't cope,
alcohol is one of the answers.  Alcohol dependancy IS drug dependancy and
V.V.

I didn't mention the completely misleading and thus nefarious presentation
in their little "test".
The two giveaway traits in the "test" were:
1. The completely ambiguous choices, never or seldom, sometimes, often, very
often.  The same activity to different people would result in totally
different answers.  Once a year to some would be never and others often.

2. Take this to your Doctor.  ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I showed the test to four different doctors in four different fields and
they couldn't believe the stupidity of the test and especially couldn't
believe that any respectable doctor would even bother to take it seriously.

ADHD: Poor little me, I can't cope.
I'm fed up with my kid and I'm going to drug it.  Alcohol is frowned upon,
so I'll find a sympathetic (nefarious) Doctor and get a drug.

This thread is not about PeterB.  In fact it was a Story-anecdote.  Posted
by Mark Probert [now pushing Adderal XR
after pushing Ritalin for years].  Furthermore, Mark says anecdotes are
bullshit and prove nothing.

Story.  Anecdote.

©2006 Shire US Inc., Wayne, Pennsylvania

What Mark [now pushing yet another ADHD drug]-- did not report.

The sudden deaths of 12 American children on Adderall for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment.

http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/rxdrugprofiles/drugs/add1008.shtml

Adderall
Pronounced: ADD-ur-all
Generic ingredients: Amphetamines

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Why is Adderall prescribed?

     Adderall is prescribed in the treatment of Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the condition in which a child exhibits a
short attention span and becomes easily distracted, overly emotional,
excessively active, and highly impulsive. It should be used as part of a
broader treatment plan that includes psychological, educational, and social
measures. An extended-release form of the drug, called Adderall XR, is
available for once-daily treatment of ADHD.

     The regular form of Adderall is also prescribed for narcolepsy
(uncontrollable attacks of sleep).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Most important fact about Adderall

     Adderall, like all amphetamines, has a high potential for abuse. If
used in large doses over long periods of time, it can cause dependence and
addiction. Be careful to take Adderall only as prescribed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     How should you take Adderall?

     Never take more Adderall than your doctor has prescribed. Do not take
it for a longer time or for any other purpose than prescribed.

     Take the first dose upon awakening. If additional doses are
prescribed, take them at intervals of 4 to 6 hours. Avoid late evening
doses, which can interfere with sleep.

     Adderall XR capsules can be taken whole, or the contents can be
sprinkled on applesauce. The applesauce should be eaten immediately, without
chewing. Be sure to use the entire contents of the capsule.

     --If you miss a dose...

     If you are taking 1 dose a day, and at least 6 hours remain before
bedtime, take the dose as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until
the next day, skip the dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not
take a double dose.

     If you are taking more than 1 dose a day, and you remember within an
hour or so of the scheduled time, take the missed dose immediately.
Otherwise, skip the dose and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2
doses at once.

     --Storage instructions...

     Store at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant container.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Adderall side effects

     Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in
intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can
determine if it is safe for you or your child to continue taking Adderall.

       a.. Side effects of Adderall may include:
       Dry mouth, high blood pressure, hives, impotence, overstimulation,
rapid or pounding heartbeat, stomach and intestinal disturbances, weight
loss

       a.. Side effects of Adderall XR may include:
       Abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, fever, infection (including
viral), insomnia, loss of appetite, mood swings, nausea, nervousness,
vomiting, weakness, weight loss

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Why should Adderall not be prescribed?

     Do not use Adderall if you have any of the following conditions:

     Heart disease
     Hardening of the arteries
     High blood pressure
     High pressure in the eye (glaucoma)
     Overactive thyroid gland

     Never take Adderall within 14 days of taking an antidepressant
classified as an MAO inhibitor, including Nardil and Parnate. A potentially
life-threatening spike in blood pressure could result.

     Your doctor will not prescribe Adderall if you have ever had a
reaction to similar stimulant drugs. The doctor will also avoid prescribing
Adderall if you appear agitated or are prone to substance abuse.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Special warnings about Adderall

     If you have even a mild case of high blood pressure, take Adderall
with caution. Be careful, too, about driving or operating machinery until
you know how Adderall affects you. It may impair judgment and coordination.

     Adderall can make tics and twitches worse. If you or a family member
has this problem (or the condition called Tourette's syndrome), make sure
the doctor is aware of it. Amphetamines such as Adderall have also been
known to aggravate symptoms in seriously disturbed (psychotic) individuals.

     If the problem is attention-deficit disorder, the doctor will do a
complete history and evaluation before prescribing Adderall, taking
particular account of the severity of the symptoms and the age of your
child. If the problem is a temporary reaction to a stressful situation,
Adderall is probably not called for.

     At present, there has been no experience with long-term Adderall
therapy in children. However, other amphetamine-based medications have been
known to stunt growth, so your doctor will need to watch the child
carefully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Possible food and drug interactions when taking Adderall

     If Adderall is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either
could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to
check with your doctor before combining Adderall with the following:

     Acetazolamide (Diamox)
     Antihistamines such as Benadryl and Chlor-Trimeton
     Drugs classified as MAO inhibitors, including the antidepressants
Nardil and Parnate
     Drugs that make the urine more acid, such as Uroquid-Acid No. 2
     Glutamic acid (an amino acid related to MSG)
     High blood pressure medications such as Calan, guanethidine,
HydroDIURIL, Hytrin, Procardia, and reserpine
     Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid)
     Major tranquilizers such as Haldol and Thorazine
     Meperidine (Demerol)
     Methenamine (Urised)
     Norepinephrine (Levophed)
     Propoxyphene (Darvon)
     Seizure medications such as Dilantin, phenobarbital, and Zarontin
     "Tricyclic" antidepressants such as Norpramin, Tofranil, and Vivactil
     Vitamin C

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

     Heavy use of amphetamines during pregnancy can lead to premature birth
or low birth weight. Avoid taking Adderall unless absolutely necessary.
Amphetamines do find their way into breast milk, so you should not take
Adderall while breastfeeding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Recommended dosage for Adderall

     Whether the problem is attention-deficit disorder or narcolepsy, the
doctor will keep the dosage as low as possible.

     ADDERALL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

     Children 3 to 5 years of age: The usual starting dose is 2.5
milligrams daily. Each week, the doctor will raise the daily dosage by 2.5

Adderall
Pronounced: ADD-ur-all
Generic ingredients: Amphetamines

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Why is Adderall prescribed?

     Adderall is prescribed in the treatment of Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the condition in which a child exhibits a
short attention span and becomes easily distracted, overly emotional,
excessively active, and highly impulsive. It should be used as part of a
broader treatment plan that includes psychological, educational, and social
measures. An extended-release form of the drug, called Adderall XR, is
available for once-daily treatment of ADHD.

     The regular form of Adderall is also prescribed for narcolepsy
(uncontrollable attacks of sleep).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Most important fact about Adderall

     Adderall, like all amphetamines, has a high potential for abuse. If
used in large doses over long periods of time, it can cause dependence and
addiction. Be careful to take Adderall only as prescribed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     How should you take Adderall?

     Never take more Adderall than your doctor has prescribed. Do not take
it for a longer time or for any other purpose than prescribed.

     Take the first dose upon awakening. If additional doses are
prescribed, take them at intervals of 4 to 6 hours. Avoid late evening
doses, which can interfere with sleep.

     Adderall XR capsules can be taken whole, or the contents can be
sprinkled on applesauce. The applesauce should be eaten immediately, without
chewing. Be sure to use the entire contents of the capsule.

     --If you miss a dose...

     If you are taking 1 dose a day, and at least 6 hours remain before
bedtime, take the dose as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until
the next day, skip the dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not
take a double dose.

     If you are taking more than 1 dose a day, and you remember within an
hour or so of the scheduled time, take the missed dose immediately.
Otherwise, skip the dose and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2
doses at once.

     --Storage instructions...

     Store at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant container.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Adderall side effects

     Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in
intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can
determine if it is safe for you or your child to continue taking Adderall.

       a.. Side effects of Adderall may include:
       Dry mouth, high blood pressure, hives, impotence, overstimulation,
rapid or pounding heartbeat, stomach and intestinal disturbances, weight
loss

       a.. Side effects of Adderall XR may include:
       Abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, fever, infection (including
viral), insomnia, loss of appetite, mood swings, nausea, nervousness,
vomiting, weakness, weight loss

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Why should Adderall not be prescribed?

     Do not use Adderall if you have any of the following conditions:

     Heart disease
     Hardening of the arteries
     High blood pressure
     High pressure in the eye (glaucoma)
     Overactive thyroid gland

     Never take Adderall within 14 days of taking an antidepressant
classified as an MAO inhibitor, including Nardil and Parnate. A potentially
life-threatening spike in blood pressure could result.

     Your doctor will not prescribe Adderall if you have ever had a
reaction to similar stimulant drugs. The doctor will also avoid prescribing
Adderall if you appear agitated or are prone to substance abuse.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Special warnings about Adderall

     If you have even a mild case of high blood pressure, take Adderall
with caution. Be careful, too, about driving or operating machinery until
you know how Adderall affects you. It may impair judgment and coordination.

     Adderall can make tics and twitches worse. If you or a family member
has this problem (or the condition called Tourette's syndrome), make sure
the doctor is aware of it. Amphetamines such as Adderall have also been
known to aggravate symptoms in seriously disturbed (psychotic) individuals.

     If the problem is attention-deficit disorder, the doctor will do a
complete history and evaluation before prescribing Adderall, taking
particular account of the severity of the symptoms and the age of your
child. If the problem is a temporary reaction to a stressful situation,
Adderall is probably not called for.

     At present, there has been no experience with long-term Adderall
therapy in children. However, other amphetamine-based medications have been
known to stunt growth, so your doctor will need to watch the child
carefully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Possible food and drug interactions when taking Adderall

     If Adderall is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either
could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to
check with your doctor before combining Adderall with the following:

     Acetazolamide (Diamox)
     Antihistamines such as Benadryl and Chlor-Trimeton
     Drugs classified as MAO inhibitors, including the antidepressants
Nardil and Parnate
     Drugs that make the urine more acid, such as Uroquid-Acid No. 2
     Glutamic acid (an amino acid related to MSG)
     High blood pressure medications such as Calan, guanethidine,
HydroDIURIL, Hytrin, Procardia, and reserpine
     Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid)
     Major tranquilizers such as Haldol and Thorazine
     Meperidine (Demerol)
     Methenamine (Urised)
     Norepinephrine (Levophed)
     Propoxyphene (Darvon)
     Seizure medications such as Dilantin, phenobarbital, and Zarontin
     "Tricyclic" antidepressants such as Norpramin, Tofranil, and Vivactil
     Vitamin C

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

     Heavy use of amphetamines during pregnancy can lead to premature birth
or low birth weight. Avoid taking Adderall unless absolutely necessary.
Amphetamines do find their way into breast milk, so you should not take
Adderall while breastfeeding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Recommended dosage for Adderall

     Whether the problem is attention-deficit disorder or narcolepsy, the
doctor will keep the dosage as low as possible.

     ADDERALL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

     Children 3 to 5 years of age: The usual starting dose is 2.5
milligrams daily. Each week, the doctor will raise the daily dosage by 2.5
milligrams until the condition is under control.

Okay, wise one. Tell us the difference between "punishment" and "negative
reinforcement" as defined by Dr. Skinner. Quickly now; you lose points if
you take time to look it up on the internet. If you indeed studied the
subject, the answer should be already in mind.

Too late, Vern. Either you didn't know, or you weren't paying attention. I

Then I'm sure you know the answer without looking it up. It's a fundamental
concept of Skinner's, and is taught in psycology 101, but people who have
not studied psychology, and a few who have, do not understand the
difference. They also often do not understand that Fred was not
fundamentally opposed to the use of punishment. He just understood that to
be effective, punishment must be consistent and IMMEDIATE.

Well, good, so you keep yourself drugged.
So you work with people who charge money to play games.

After getting a degree and finding out the nonsense that Psychologists spout
(no stats to back them up), the dishonesty and typically the general
ignorance, I decided to go into Physics (not much opportunity except in
teaching) and then changed to Engineering.

Many (still a small percetage) M.D.s are less than honest and cause as much
damage as help, but MOST Psychologists and Psychiatrists do mostly harm.
They usually don't do it on purpose or with knowledge.  They just have a
self agrandizing group of coherts.

Bullshit. I have read many psychological studies and they are well
documented, with lots of numbers. I guess you had a problem with that.

Surely a person who wants statistics can back up that claim, i.e. *most*

IIRC, the concepts used above, of positive/negative reinforcement are the
key to Applied Behavioral Analysis, which is one of the methods used
successfully with those with autism...and has helped a lot with my son (who
is dealing with ADHD/gifted/aspergers/sensory processing disorder)...it is
hardly "playing"--it is hard work...

Hmmm...I am currently taking a class in teaching math
constructively--Constuctivist education is the philosophy of the university
that I attend.  Since it is heavy on manipulatives, I would guess to the
uneducated (in this method) it would "appear" to be "playing"...but it
follows Piaget's approach to education...and works *very* well with the
mental mindset of those with exceptionalities <g>

There is an Arabic saying.

He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep, awaken him
He who knows and knows that he knows is wise, follow him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is simple, teach him

When you and your ilk start actually providing science based information
and stop your antics of marginalization, the attacks will stop. You do
have the power. However, I do not expect you to use it, as you know your

Yes, he addresses you and johndoe entirely too often and seems to continualy
expect cogent responses.
Sometimes I wonder about him.

I know that one way (as you say) to cause many to go ballistic is to claim
that one actually has a science education.  I realize that, in itself, gives
no basis for knowledge in a particular science feild, but it is quite
obvious that some have zero science education or experience.

It is paramount to me going to a news group on law or litigation techniques
and blowing off.  Even though I have had a LOT of experience with (not in)
that feild as a consultant or reprentative, I have enough knowledge in it to
know that I am grossly ignorant, except to always state truth and facts for
the least probable problems.

Pharmaceutical Marketeers stock reply to anyone who dares to point out
there's no scientific basis for their assertion the so-called symptoms of
ADHD are a genetically transmitted mental disorder----is "the absense of
evidence isn't evidence of absence"

Fuzzy Logic is used to defend the US War on Children---same as Fuzzy Logic
was employed by Rumsfield to defend the US unilateral war against Iraq.

You wouldn't know what the term "fuzzy logic" means.

You associate fuzzy with that wet feeling between your legs.
Of course it is exacerbated by hate and more hate.  Don't worry, there are a
lot of people who get excited through masochistic and sadistic fantasies.

When you get an education try not to read any of your past writings.  You
will be embarrassed.

Tell us again how many Christian colleges you went to, Vernon.

Perhaps it is time to go back.

I answered a direct accusation wherein the accusation was based on ignorance
and HATE.

I stated what seemed to be FACT.

I didn't lie as Linda Gore did and continues to do.

AND

Of course it is exacerbated by hate and more hate.  Don't worry, there are
a lot of people who get excited through masochistic and sadistic
fantasies.

They are also called Islamofascists.
Liberal fascists
Hate mongers
Socialists
Communists

Christ called a son of a snake a son of a snake.  (translation to today's
language (Son of a bitch or Son of Satan))

They will destroy you and everything you believe.  I will be destroyed as
well, but I wont be like the NAZI sympathizers of 1930s.

You are confused.

Bush/Rumsfeld fabricated non-existing Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction
as an excuse to send the sons and daughters of Nevada to their death in
Iraq.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2006/06/16/sen-reid-strikes-back-at_n_23164.html

Drug Pushers like Probert fabricate a non-existing genetically
transmitted neurobiological disease to excuse the drugging of millions
of US children.

Whenever anyone points out to drug pushers like Probert that scientists
have NEVER produced a shred of evidence supporting the drug pushers
assertion that the symptomology of ADHD is a genetically inherited
brain based disease ---the drug pushers ALWAYS reply--"-the absense of
evidence isn't evidence of absence" ,  IOW,  the same reply Rumsfeld
made when no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.

Your report is the fabrication.

IRAQ.

Having what to do with what.
No fabrications were made.
YOU, in your ignorance, think they are so stupid as to start a war if they
knew ahead of time that no WMDs would be found.
Just because you are stupid and apparently all your friends are stupid does
not mean the people in Washington are stupid.  I may not agree with the
rhetoric or decisions there, but they are NOT as stupid as you are.  That is
why you are a nothing.

The ONLY thing you and your friends know is HATE, and more HATE and more
HATE.
If you want to find out how we got where we are, check the workings of Jimmy
Carter.  Three presidents couldn't repair the damage.  I don't say that
because he was in the Democratic Party.  Clinton recognized it and tried to
repair the damage.

What is your next ranting?  Carl Rove is the reason for e-coli on
spinach????  He did visit California.

grrrrr

There's not a shred of scientific evidence supporting Pharmaceutical
Marketeers claim  that the symptoms of ADHD are a genetically inherited
neurobiological condition.

Pharmaceutical Marketeers, like Probert,  defend their making
delusional claims that are contradicted by a huge body of scientific
evidence on the basis of *absense of evidence isn't evidence of
absence*.

Likewise,  there  was NEVER any evidence supporting Bush/Rumfeld's
claim that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Bush/Rumsfeld defended their delusional claim wrt Iraq WMD,
contradicted by mountains of  evidence,  on the basis of the *absence
of evidence is not evidence of evidence*.

When Jan asked where she heard Probert's distorted thoughts  before
-----I jokingly suggested *Rumsfeld* because Probert's distorted
thinking is the same sort of distorted thinking engaged in by the war
criminals residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

snip----BIZARRE commentary having no connection to anything I,  or
Senator Reid said.

First of all there isn't a shred of evidence that it is a neurobiological
condition.
Maybe stupidity is genetic.

They had what ALL considered evidence INCLUDING the recent history of SADAM.

Wrong decision?  Maybe.  Contrived? They are smarter than that.

against my better judgment, i shouldn't cut in here, but....

had they left sadaam in power, with ahmady nejad of iran moving forward
with a nuclear program, who in their right mind would think sadaam
wouldn't do the same?

you think they wanted to have to deal with the iranians and sadaam
gearing up with nukes at the same time??

does anyone remember the iran - iraq war 1980-1989?  now picture that
with both sides having nuclear weapons.

whatever cheney, rumsfeld et al had or didn't have as evidence, they
weren't going to wait.  they were going to nip it in the bud.
