ADHD drugs found to cause hallucinations

I learned years ago that if you want to get hounded off the supposedly public Internet and have your personal life exposed, criticizing ADHD drugs is a surefire way to get the ball rolling. The Internet has a powerful contingent that won't tolerate any negative information about these toxins - no matter how many studies you cite.

Now yet another study proves that ADHD drugs cause hallucinations in children and teenagers - reinforcing earlier data that was almost completely ignored by the media. These poisons cause hallucinations even when taken as directed, according to FDA researchers. Often, children hallucinated that bugs, snakes, and worms were crawling on them.

Among the drugs covered by the study are Focalin XR, Adderall XR, Daytrana, Concerta, Strattera, Metadate CD, and the old warhorse Ritalin.

How much coverage do you expect this study to get after today? The media doesn't like keeping stories like this in the spotlight, so hang on to it.
