Answers:
I work in education and I think that Ritalin (renolin) is the most over prescribed drug there is out there!. If you are on the honor roll, and doing well in school why would you need the drugs, that is crazy!. Just because you get hyper or silly doesn't mean the doctors need to drug you up!! Just so long as your "hyperness" is not interfering with you learning, then what is the big deal!.
Some people (including myself) are natural extroverts, which other people may perceive as "hyper or loud"!. I just don't understand why the "calm and quiet people" (just because they don't understand personalities ) feel they have to "calm the extroverts down" using medication!.
I think if you are doing well in school, and feel you can handle the work load without your meds, you should tell your parents exactly how you feel!. If you see that your concentration level starts dropping (i!.e!. your grades) then maybe it would be time to take your meds again!. Ask your parents to give you a trial period, maybe one semester, to see how you do, without the meds!.
Good Luck, and don't lose that vibrant and bubbly personality!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nobody 'makes' you take the meds, you can stop taking them if you dont feel you need to take them
ADHD is a commonly diagnosed dissorder by doctors and there very loose about saying "yup, you got it"
Obviously ADHD isn't the only reason you could be a generally 'Active' or 'Hyper' person, you could just be like the coolest person ever, who knows!?
I've taken alot of ADD and ADHD meds and the only difference on or off them is i concentrate better hence the "Attention Deficate" part of the dissorder!.
Hope this helps
Best of Luck to ya

Hun, I have ADHD, and am also on renolin, I was getting really good grades too!.
Yes it will make you feel REALLY bad, but after a week, it will stop!. Beleive me, i like the affect of the meds!.
It makes you feel more peacful, not always like GOTTS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C'OM ON!!!!! GO GO GO!!!!
But if you are really against it, talk to your parents about why you feel its wrong for you to take it!.
But out of experience, in my owns words, from my heart, I am telling you to take it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Having ADD or ADHD doesnt mean you are mentally "ill" and if the prescription calms you down then that is good!. If you are taking something that makes you feel like you are going to pass out then you need to say something to your parents or your doctor!. The most important thing is that you feel well!.!.!.I'm sure you know that and at the very least your doctor will understand that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You must be really hurt by what your parents and doctors tell you!. Your feelings were not considered!. But if you are old enough you can ask the doctor for other alternatives!. You need to know how to control your thoughts and actions appropriately other wise you may run into problems while you work with others who may not understand your ways!. So get yourself some skills and work on self control!. You may not need to take drugs to control yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The first question i have is how old are you!? Cause if you are old enough to make those decisions then do it!. I grew up with ADHD they had me on ritolin till it was found to be addictive, then they put me on another med that worked till i was about 15 or so, then i had to go "when needed" to talk to a counselor!. I have pretty much out grew it for the most part!. But if this med doesn't make you feel right, have the dr put you on something else!. But ultimately the choice is yours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I totally agree!. Methylphenidate is a dangerous narcotic!. You are much better off taking fish oil and magnesium to see if that helps!. If that does not work try regular exercise!. If even that fails, your excellent academic performance does not warrant your taking any drugs - especially CII narcotic amphetamines!. Let your parents know how you feel!. Refuse the drugs!.

ADHD is not mentally ill!.
its a common disease, and having it doesnt mean you're stupid!. i have heard that the pills make it harder to handle for some people though!.
just tell them seriously and openly how you are reacting to these drugs, and make them understand that you do not think it's the best resolution!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you just have a small case of it - tell your doctor that you may be hyper but the drugs arent helping!. If your life is just fine without them - then dont use them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ritalin is a joke!. You don't need it!. People with ADHD tend to grow out of the hyperness anyways!.
What you really need is to just do more activities!. Get that energy out!. You'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm on your side!. I'm against taking the drugs!. I'm a teacher, and I have rarely seen it help!. If you felt bad on that drug, simply tell them "No, you won't take it, and that you would like to try a compromise"!. Suggest alternatives!.
Agree to see a counselor to work on behavior management!.
Or best of all, try letting mom know that many kids are hyper because of an allergy to a food in their diet, and that before she tries drugging you again, you think that it would be worth her while to see if something that you're eating is making you hyper!. Many kids are allergic to wheat or milk, and once they stop eating wheat, and all of the beef, cheese, milk, yogurt, and dairy products, they aren't hyper any longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are functioning perfectly fine without the drugs (fine being defined as good grades, good social skills/relationships with others, etc!.) then there is no reason for you to be medicated for this so-called "disease"!. I can guarantee that if a doctor were to evaluate me for attention-deficit disorder, they would put me on the next train to Ritalin Land; despite this apparent "disorder" I have always succeeded in school, at the high school and university level, had successful relationships and been comfortable with who I am!.
I personally don't believe that ADHD is a real disease; I think it was devised by medical professionals as a way to get parents to pay to calm their unruly children, instead of having to do some actual PARENTING!. My mother took me to church every sunday for 11 or 12 years and she made damn sure I sat still and quiet for the entire service!.!.!. anyone can learn to behave, ADD or not, and if you are functioning just fine without medication, tell them to take the dang pills themselves and get off your back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey there, don't be so mad, you're just on the wrong drug!. If it makes you dizzy, it's not for you!!!
I have the same type of ADHD!. I'm an adult, smart, speak four languages and love to read, but was just so friggin' hyper all the time, and I could not sleep to save my life!!
I was in shock when they told me I was ADHD (btw, I lived in Thailand at the time, so this is not something the US invented, and it IS real) !. I tried all the Ritalin, Concerta, Lamictal (mood stabilizer) and the only thing that happened is I got crazy thin and had bad hair fall!.
I now get good results on Wellbutrin!. It's very mild and docs are finally figuring out that it does well for ADHD!. I also take a sleeping pill!. But I feel really good!. I know it takes forever to find the right thing and is so frustrating!.
I'd say don't take what you have and find a new, good psychiatrist who will listen when you describe your symptoms!. And NEVER take any med you feel uncomfortable with!. And don't feel that you are mentally ill, it's just a disorder!. Although it took me a long time to accept that I had it!.!.!.
Tell your parents how you feel, you obviously a smart girl and can find a way to make them listen because this is important!. It will get worse if untreated!. It did for me, I finally hit my hyper worst at 28 and started drinking too much :( You don't want that, I certainly never thought it would happen to me!
Keep bichin' and moanin' until your folks and your doctor listen, it's worth it!.
Best of luck! xWww@Answer-Health@Com

I am the exact way!. Doctors tested me for ADHD and i have it too!. I took the medicine for about 7 months and it tasted so bad and made me throw up!.!.!. it was not good and then they kept upping my doses and i just was sick of it!. I beat ADHD!. I am a straight a student who plays 3 sports very successfully!. Just do what you think is right for you!. No one can force you to do anything you truly do not want to do!. Talk with your parents calmly and when they are in a good mood(it helps)!.
I wish you the best of luck and i hope you will join me and beat ADHD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
