I am really enjoying the back and forth positive discussion in this thread.
I do agree with Paula that there are some people that rely too heavily on Meds to do it all. One drug I would say that definitely appies to is Ritalin. It seems that at the grocery store I work at women that some thru the line together are frequently discussing how their kids are on that. I took it for 15 years from when I was 5 till 20. It definitely was neccesary for me but it sees to be way overprescribed.
