If you want to find support and information against Ritalin then www.breggin.com would be a good starting point. It is slightly worrying that 5% of the US school age children are on this drug. As I've heard Breggin himself say, Ritalin is not a nutritional suppliment its an amphetamine derivative that can often cause many of the symptoms that its purported to treat.
There is also a lady called Sue Parry who is a very active speaker against the rather unscientific diagnosis of ADHD and the market for Ritalin it has created. If anyone has the information or links you need then it would probably be her, address
7353 85th PL SE
Mercer island
Washington .
98040I haven't personally looked her up on the net but I'd be surprised if she hasn't put some of the papers she's published on it.
Best of luck Citiboy
