My son was 13 year old son was diagnosed with A.D.H.D and I have major concerns regarding the medication. In my research I found out that metaphate (ritalin derivative) is considered a class b or a substance--the same catagory as cocaine. I also found that with continuous usage of the medication, that it can possible damage the brain.

I am contemplating whether my son should take the medicine or not based on this information. I'm also ascertaining alternative sollutions to the medications. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
