That’s been a problem with earlier ADHD treatments like Ritalin, nearly all of which contain the stimulants amphetamine or methamphetamine.

Studies show that most kids getting Ritalin never abuse other drugs. Same with diabetics.

Ritalin can cause excessive body hair though. One of the side affects of the drug. Males usually deal with it ok, but females can become quite concerned having hairy backs and limbs. So, psychologically they need councelling quite often.

I wonder what drugs they use in Japan...I see signs outside pharmacies saying ADHD.
