Hi Charles.

My name is Mary Mcguire and I am formerly from Saint John, New Brunswick. I am an RN living and working in Corpus Christi, Texas. Someone forwarded your blogs to me - I'm not sure who- but I thouroughly enjoy them and thank you for all the very valuable info I have gleaned from them.

You see, I have an 8 year old son, and since grade 1, the school and teachers have been "pushing" the idea of using drugs to control his "ADHD". I even gave in at one point and allowed the doctor to prescribe Aderral for him - although apprehensive about it, and having read up on it briefly, I was not aware of the risk I was putting him at.

Eventually, he began improving in his schoolwork and became more manageable. But, when he began manifesting some side effects and the drug became less effective -and they wanted me to consider increasing the dosage - I became mildly alarmed and suspicious (some of the side effects were verbal and gestural tics, anxiety attacks, and chest pain- which I did not like as he is a mild asthmatic).

I decided to take him off of the Adderral, much to the dismay of the teachers and school.

I discussed it with the doctor, who didn't seem to believe me, and we discussed putting him on strattera, having the teachers and the school psychologist evaluate him for a learning
disability, and going from there.

This done, he was then diagnosed with a "learning disability" and put on Stratera. This did not work either,even with dosage increases and schoolwork grade modifications. In fact, he began falling asleep in class-from the stratera- so deeply, that he would sometimes fall out of his chair. This had not occurred before the Stratera.

Now that the new school year has begun, and I have all this new-to me- valuable info, I plan to do things differently. I have printed out from your blog, copies or the article about the 14 year old boy who died as a result of ritalin use, and plan to use it as needed for ammunition against anyone who tries to intimidate me into drugging my son further. I am also passing it on to anyone else who is going to or has put thier child on drugs -in order to make the schools job easier, and increase thier finacial funding.


Thank you so much

Mary Mcguire



P.S. You may publish this in your blog. I want to be a parent who helps stop this travesty of drug pushing and abuse towards our children. You may also check out my myspace site-although it is a little boring right now. I need to upgrade it;
