If you have to keep taking amphetamines you are stuck with it. It is clear that something dopamergenic is going on with these kids, but no one is trying to find out why they do not have enough dopamine. You know we have biological pathways that produce dopamine which are controlled by things in our environment.

Yeah, I said it, you can control ADHD by changing the environment. Zinc, B6, air pollution, protein intake, etc...
Yet all we get is a pill? And you are all happy with that?
