Absolutely! No dispute there. I'm conservative about my health and if I thought these meds were killers, I wouldn't be on them.
All I'm saying is that it feels often like doctors give us false assurances, depicting drugs (including the stims) as totally safe, risk-free, etc. I've heard this all the time. But I think as a society we're not seeking or getting robust health data. Since everyone is relying on the Ritalin-is-50-years-old logic, it seems there isn't the same push to investigate, investigate, investigate. I welcome anything that makes it happen.
