Comments on: Matthew’s Story http://www.mynameisben.org/2009/10/matthew-smith/ and I want to live Drug Free Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:22:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sondra http://www.mynameisben.org/2009/10/matthew-smith/comment-page-1/#comment-97 Sondra Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:30:58 +0000 http://www.mynameisben.org/?p=89#comment-97 I have a 6 year old daughter who is very "brilliant" so the teachers say but has some hard time sitting down in the classroom, they wanted me to take her to the pediatrician to get her assessed, so guess what? I found and read the RitalinDeath website and I have made up my mind about any further decisions and since my daughter is learning they cannot push us to get her evaluated (this I have been told by our pediatrician). She is a lovely lady and doesn't think there is anything wrong with our child and she also suggests that we need to give time to our daughter. It is a shame that in these times we still have to deal with all this nonsense, I am aware that some children really need those meds but not a the rate we are seeing, this is a generation X, thanks for sharing this video!!!

It was nice to see your comment this morning, knowing that Matthew's tragic story will make a difference in your daughter's life. I've let Matthew's mother know about your post here. You can see the family's website at www.RitalinDeath.com and hopefully get more information about alternatives to drugs. Thanks for your comment, Stefania

The doctor prescribed my daughter aderall. Now I am looking for an alternative opition. I dropped the prescription off to the pharmacy, but will not pick it up after hearing Matthew's story.
