Jon Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Great article! Thanks Cassie. Thank you Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. How did you go up against big Pharma? I applaud your courage. I found this quote interesting: “This is the first time to my knowledge that the idea of a BMI rebound after discontinuation of stimulants has been reported.†I was particularily impressed with the term "rebound " and how it applies to all of our recovery symptoms. New adderall adage: And so it was given, it shall be taken away at many times the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marissa Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 This is really interesting. I'm pretty surprised/fascinated by the recent media coverage about adhd meds. The nytimes has been running a lot of articles lately that criticize pharmaceutical companies and doctors and such. Seems like there is a growing fixation stimulants as a "problem", but in a way that is questioning the bigger picture in a sense, not just the usual "college kids and abuse" stuff. In related news, I saw a few articles that say the company that makes Adderall and Vyvanse is trying to get vyvanse approved for treatment of binge eating disorder.
