Doug is so accurate in this video. I have ADD. I took the medication. It made me feel like an emotionless zombie, brain dead, numb to the world around me. It took away my want to talk, create, and reduced my normal impulses. Sure, I have a harder time focusing without the pills, but they are destroying who I am! I am never going to take them again.

@soapkin The problem is that they reproduce and then their children are even more screwed. The drug doesn't allow nature to achieve it's harmonious balance. It takes a while to F'k up a brain, and it takes even longer to bring it back into a peaceful state. You can try to conquer natural law and you'll be as successful as if you bit off your mother's nipple to get more milk flow; creating pain in the process, and suiciding yourself long term.

The 8 people who disliked this should take zoloft or prozac to better blend in with the 638 people who liked it.
