Could be really useful research for those with ADHD.

like me
i've just been dealing with it, cause i hated the medication. maybe this is the stuff for me.

From article:
(Dealing with Ritalin) The controversial drugs can cause heart problems, dizziness and insomnia and have been blamed for the deaths of nine children in the UK and dozens more in the US.
OOPS.
I was put on Ritalin way back when I was a hyperactive lad. I must say that **** had the opposite effect of what it was supposed to. Hated the stuff. These days I've learned to deal with it and it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. :)
The fish oil sounds pretty interesting.

They said i had add\adhd and ****ing odd for that matter, all of which is totalbull****. Put me on that crap. Hated it as well. For me, it was like wathcing myself behind my eyes in a subconcious state. Hated those bloody pills.

I seem to recall being put on something, Dexamphetamine or some such thing, straightened me out quite a bit, come to think of it. No real side effects I noticed, and I did actually feel a lot calmer when I was drugged up.
...Plus, I could sell the pills behind the toilets at school at a hugely inflated price... :nervous: ...kidding
-
they told me that i was a "chronic underachiever" and they put me on Adderall. what a joke. it gave me +120 heart rate and made me really pissy and depressed. just sold those damn pills for 10 bucks each.

You're not bitter, though.

Well, if fish oil is tested to be a safer yet effective treatment, I do not see why not giving it a try.
-
mmm... concerta... tasty
-
Just watch though...It'll never be approved by the FDA.
Official Reason: There are too many unknown side effects. More testing is required.
What That Means: This drug is highly effective and cheap. It poses too great a threat to the profits of huge drug companies, so we aren't going to approve it, even though it would improve the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of people. Long live the almighty dollar! Huzzah!!!

Ummm. Fish oil pills have been available on the market for a very long time.
-
D'oh...That'll teach me to do my research before I shoot my mouth off...
My dislike (putting it mildly) of drug companies sometimes gets ahead of me. But I still think once people get wind of this, the drug companies are gonna do everything in their power to discredit it...

Better then listening to the vast majority of more recent folks.
