Re: Ritalin may prevent substance abuse

Well, speaking only as someone who took Ritalin from the age of 5 to the age of 14 (twice daily),and that I'm currnetly in recovery from pot, alcohol, 'meth (paticularly meth!), and any thing else I could get my hands on in about 30 years.
I would say that Dr. Biederman's findings are lacking (to say the least).Ritalin, it would appear, was not able to prevent substance abuse, in my case.
