There are other options for keeping ADD, ADHD and DYSLEXIA under control without side effects that often accompany a Big Pharma prescription. Like physicians, Big Pharma should take the same oath before dealing out major side effects to children: Primum non nocere.  It means, "First do no harm."

Although medication can be helpful in some children, drug-free treatments exist and should be explored first.  Y3K Tutor In Your Home offers remedies that can give relief without dangerous side effects.

Alcohol, marijuana, and opiates are often drugs that teens turn to in high school.  Some are now choosing to inhale toxic household products they can easily obtain such as computer air dusters, gasoline, butane, Freon, paint thinner, glues, whipped cream, and anything else in an aerosol can.  This is called “huffing”. Some youths first use inhalants when they are around 11 or 12.  For some, it is the first or second drug kids try (even before alcohol or cigarettes).  About 2.6 million children ages 12 to 17 uses an inhalant each year to get high.

Huffing occurs when sprays are put into a plastic bag and inhaled, a rag or sock is soaked in the chemical and then the vapors are inhaled, or vapors are inhaled directly out of the container. The fumes end up cutting off oxygen to the brain, producing a high.  Lack of oxygen and cardiac arrest are the leading causes of sudden death from huffing.

In a 2011 study, 11% of US teens said they had used inhalants in their lifetime.  In Massachusetts 5% of high school students reported using inhalants in the past 30 days.  This method of drug use is a problem because these chemicals are readily available in homes and stores and are not illegal to sell or possess.

The responses from the 2011 Massachusetts Youth Health Survey and Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey of high school students had several surprising results.

 

40% reported drinking every month

30% use a drug

28% use marijuana

27% report being offered, sold, or given an illegal drug on school property in the previous 12 months

22% binge drink (5 or more drinks within 2 hrs)

6% reported non-medical use of a prescription drug

6% use marijuana during school

5% use inhalants

4% use alcohol during school

Many high schools throughout the country have started to take extreme and varied measures to ensure drugs are kept out of the schools.  Some different yet controversial drug prevention methods include:

• At more than 100 high schools in Eastern Massachusetts, drug-sniffing dogs are brought in every year to search for everything from alcohol to marijuana. 

• In Quincy, MA video cameras follow students in the hallways while plainclothes security guards stay alert for drug activity. 

• At Westford Academy in Westford, MA the principal decided to add a full time police officer to the staff.

•  Newton North High School in Newton, MA feels that counseling is the best way to rid the school of drugs.  The school has on staff a social worker acting as the school’s prevention and intervention counselor.  This person offers several group therapy sessions for students including for youths who are struggling with alcohol and drugs.

All of these schools have a common goal of preventing drug use.  Which methods do you think are best and which do you think are going too far?  Share your comments.

The US Food and Drug Administration has sent out a warning about counterfeit versions of the ADHD drug Adderall 30 mg available to purchase on-line.  Adderall has been in short supply for months.  According to the FDA, the counterfeit version of this drug contains the wrong active ingredients.  They warn that Adderall may be fake if it has any of the following:

• Pills come in a blister package

• There are misspellings on the package such as “NDS” instead of “NDC”, “Aspartrte” instead of “Aspartate”, or “Singel” instead of “Single”.

• The tablets have no markings on them.

Be sure to check for these misspellings and errors on drug store purchased medications too.

If you are planning on bringing your child to the doctor’s office for a Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Adderall (amphetamine) prescription refill, call your pharmacy before the doctor’s appointment (even if in the doctor’s waiting room) to find out whether the store has your child’s drug and strength in stock. If they have the medication in stock, ask the pharmacy to set aside some pills for a prescription that is about to be filled. A phone call to the pharmacy ahead of time can help students receive the ADHD medication they need even when stock is running low. This is especially important considering there is a nationwide shortage for these drugs.

In some pharmacies there tends to be a shortage of certain popular drugs to treat ADHD including brand name and generic Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall (amphetamine). Some of these drugs appear on the US Food and Drug Administration List of drug shortages. If at the doctor’s office and receiving a new prescription of these particular drugs for a recently diagnosed child, be aware of a possible shortage and ask the doctor to call your local pharmacy to see what’s in stock before you walk out the door with the prescription.

Your child may be diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, or just be very active and have trouble concentrating.  You were told perhaps that medication and patience are the only ways to handle the situation, right?
