Hi TheOutsider,
>I have a lot of respect for you Ed...
I also have much respect for you :-)
>......so its odd that no neurotoxic effects have been discovered!
Not really, considering the absence of any adequate research into the long term effects of stimulant use in childhood.
> you have to balance the risks of prescribing a drug with the risks of not prescribing it.
I agree absolutely :-) It can be very difficult though when the nature and magnitude of the risks are not known.
>Please Ed, dont become on of 'them'! (a typical British stimulent phobic doctor)
I won't :-) I'm not stimulant phobic at all and anyway I'm not going to be a doctor!
Regards,
Ed.
