Question
How do you stop ritalin from making you sick. Billy Levine said they safe for long term use but they are addictive and my life is over. What other drug gets rip of withdrawals. In the name of jesus help me

Answer
Dear Peter,

I really wish I could help you. I have been preaching for years against these medications because I know they are addictive. I work with people according to their personality traits and promoting alternative methods of helping the brain work better. All the symptoms listed as ADD or ADHD symptoms can be explained by personality traits. As-- low concentration is actually the ability to multi-task. Many occupations require quick thinking with a brain that can change focus quickly. Also, some people are not built to sit down and learn or concentrate deeply. For example, some people have several traits that make them more physical and their brain is made to work better when the person is on their feet and moving around.

I have said a prayer for you and I do hope that you can get off Ritalin and find alternative ways of helping you. People can and do get over addictions. There are Naturopathic doctors that might be able to help you get off Ritalin. The problem with my helping a person is that I need to see the person or else have very good photos, straight front and then straight side photo from each side, with hair pulled back as tightly as possible. Personality traits are shown in physical features.  

Playing a musical instrument helps organize your brain and is very important. There is a product called neu-beCalmed that is wonderful in helping feed the brain. You can find it online.

You are welcome to reply with some detail of the challenges you have in learning or functioning and I might be able to tell some of the traits you have and how to direct them to work for you rather than against you. I would do my best to help in any way I can.

I am so sorry you are going through this but perhaps when you get through this and find other ways of working with your challenges you will be able to help others avoid medications. There are support groups that do alternative methods of those diagnosed with ADD or ADHD that you should be able to find online.

I wish you the best, best, best.

Expertise

Behavior and learning challenges are usually caused by personality traits such as Restlessness, High Physical, Low Concentration, Wide Tolerance (spaciness), Force (anger), Aggressive, plus others. I can help in either area.

Experience

25 years experience working with families, teaching them how to work with traits so they work for you, rather than against you. As mother of seven grown children and grandmother of 19, I have seen first hand the beauty of recognizing talents and potential in a child who is difficult to raise. I could not have raised my last daughter, who had a very strong personality, without this knowledge. Besides working with families, I have worked with individuals and businesses. The challenges are always the same--learning how to work with your own traits, plus learning how to handle trait differences between yourselves and others.
