Already in med school. How much more education am I supposed to get, exactly? You want to let me know where you got your MD and we can compare notes? Because when prescribed correctly, Ritalin is a perfectly safe drug that helps many children and adults concentrate better. The problem isn't the drug, it's that ADD and ADHD are horribly over diagnosed and there's really no foolproof test for each. Prescribing ANY med to someone who doesn't need it can be dangerous.
