**My sons both took ritalin but not because they couldn't sit still in
class or had too much energy. One son finally said to me he couldn't
learn in class because it sounded like the teacher was saying wa wa wa
wa wa wa. **


I read a very short article somewhere that said many classrooms have
poor acoustics. Sound quality is barely considered at all when
classrooms are built.

I've heard other kids who were not on Ritalin say that they hear a lot of "white noise" without it, my son included.

The ritalin minimizes the "white noise" and they can hear better...its not a hearing thing, its a brain thing.

I also know that when my son was learning guitar, he could play far better when he took the Ritalin...and he talked more softly too.

Well I can sing a lot better high, too, but that's because I'm a soprano.
And what about bass guitars? Hard rock has bass. THEY don't play high...

Yes thats true.

And a lot of people who do not take ritalin SELF MEDICATE using other drugs and alcohol.

For those who need it and want it, ritalin might be the safer of those options.
