Adhd Drugs That Don't Harm Your Health

[southcesar]

Are there any ADHD medications that aren't so bad for your health? I was diagnosed with adhd and my doctor put me on ritalin. But in the forum I read that Ritalin would be estrogenic and would lower body temperature. I already take caffeine, taurine and thiamine to help me. Any help is appreciated.

Ritalin (methylphenidate) does not act on serotonin Reuptake inhibition the way amphetamine salts (adderal) can. There’s also the norepinephrine Reuptake inhibitors like bupropion (Wellbutrin) and atomoxatine (strattera).

Zinc in higher doses will act as a mild DRI correct. But it’s not that simple, we need prefrontal cortex Dopamine activity for attention

Low Vitamin D Levels In Patients With ADHD

The study is not interventional, so too early to say if vitamin D supplementation will help ADHD. However, the link seems promising given the role of vitamin D in dopamine synthesis, which is though to be low in ADHD. [Full text] Vitamin D and vitamin D receptor levels in children with...

Biggest harm of amphetamine is HUGE increase of carbonic anhydrases, endorphins, histamine, serotonin and noradrenaline
