• Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.... You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do...Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.

• Aunque las drogas son inmorales y deben mantenerse alejadas de los jóvenes, miles de escuelas presionan a los padres para que den el fármaco Ritalin a cualquier niño animado que, sensatamente, muestre signos de aburrimiento en su clase. El Ritalin vuelve al niño dócil, si no comatoso. ¿Efectos secundarios? "Retraso del crecimiento, tics faciales, agitación y agresividad, insomnio, pérdida de apetito, dolores de cabeza, dolores de estómago y convulsiones". La marihuana sería mucho menos perjudicial.

• ¡No sabes cómo es! ¡Mellizos hiperactivos! Cuando cumplieron tres años, mi médico me recetó Ritalin. Ni se me ocurriría darles un medicamento a mis hijos, pero a mí me ayuda tomarlo.

• Los bosques eran mi Ritalin. La naturaleza me calmaba, me centraba y, al mismo tiempo, excitaba mis sentidos.

• Ahora que mis días de trepar a los árboles han quedado atrás, pienso a menudo en el valor duradero de aquellos primeros días deliciosamente ociosos. He llegado a apreciar la larga vista que me ofrecían las copas de los árboles. Los bosques eran mi Ritalin. La naturaleza me calmaba, me concentraba y, al mismo tiempo, excitaba mis sentidos.

• No era bueno en la escuela. Nunca pude leer muy rápido ni muy bien. Me hicieron pruebas de problemas de aprendizaje, de dislexia. Luego me recetaron Ritalin y Dexedrine. Las tomé a partir del octavo grado. En cuanto me inyectaban esa droga, me concentraba.

• It's been a long time since I've stood on a stage in London. Was about 14 or 15 years ago, I was 60 years old, just a kid with a crazy dream. Since then I've taken a lot of Prozac, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Ritalin, Focalin. I've also studied deeply in the philosophies and the religions, but cheerfulness kept breaking through.

• El Instituto Nacional de Salud me pidió que fuera su ponente científico sobre los efectos de este fármaco [Ritalin] en una gran conferencia que celebraron. De antemano, revisé toda la literatura importante sobre el tema. Incluso con experimentos en animales. Cuando se les administran estos fármacos dejan de jugar; dejan de ser curiosos; dejan de socializar; dejan de intentar escapar. Hacemos buenos animales enjaulados con estas drogas. Y hacemos buenos niños enjaulados quitándoles su espontaneidad. Y, Michael, la otra cosa es que estas drogas refuerzan el comportamiento obsesivo.

• The White House comes out and says it's going to do a major study of the effects on preschool-age children using Ritalin, Prozac and other drugs. I know in advance what the study's going to say. The results are in before they even start. They're going to do a window-dressing control while praising the overall need for the drugs. In the end they're going to try to peddle more drugs than before while making us think they're clamping down; that's my guess.

• In some cases it is identical because methamphetamine is one of the F.D.A. drugs allowed for children. The three basic stimulants now are amphetamine, methamphetamine, and then Ritalin, which are all in the same class and Schedule Two drugs along with cocaine, the most addictive drug as recognized by all the world's drug agencies.

• I couldn't guarantee that someone could get off their medication. But I suspect that meditation instead of Ritalin would change the life of any kid with ADD.

• If you've heard Hillary Clinton's recent remarks on Ritalin and other drug use on children, you'll find the usual nauseating demagoguery. She appears to be urging Ritalin caution; but, if you listen carefully, she's calling it a miracle drug: "A Godsend for emotional and behavioral problems, for both children and their parents." She insists her efforts are not an attack on the medical treatment of children's emotional well-being because the drugs are very, very "useful."

• The N.I.M.H. spent multi-millions of dollars on [Ritalin studies], and they're going to do the same thing now with little kids. And despite the millions spent, the N.I.M.H. study wasn't even conducted according to accepted scientific procedures and is basically worthless.

• [Harold Koopowitz] had the nerve to say from his early studies on Ritalin that he found it very useful on children down to the age of two. He goes a step further and says we should even use more of it.
