Ritalin Study is Child Abuse

I have taken a quote from the following link. This is what really captured my attention and made me want to read the full article. Hopefully, you will also decide to take a look.

"The kids will start getting Ritalin at small daily dosages, which will gradually increase to 7.5 mg and 10 mg three times a day, depending on how the drug affects them.

The side effects that, in part, determine dosage limits are headaches, abdominal pain, difficulty sleeping, fever, nausea, dizziness, chest pain and, in some rare cases, Tourette's disorder, depression and psychosis.

The kids who cope with 10 mg will get a dosage of 15 mg - so researchers can see what happens.

"They want to see how much these children can tolerate," said Vera Hassner Sharav, who heads the New York-based Alliance for Human Research Protection. "The research is absolutely child abuse.""  (Page 1)
