Hubby was dosed so high on dexadrine starting in the 80s that all his psychiatrist cared about was wether he was showing signs of Parkinson. If not they kept upping the dose. He didn't get off that junk until 2008. He never needed it. He was just depressed due to a learning disability and was misdiagnosed as ADD
His parents always kinda thought there was something wrong with him but it really was just a learning disability (he has processing problems and didn't read well, but is very intelligent) guessing the processing problems are from being jabbed as a kid-neurologivsl damage. But probably a genetic component as well. His dad was a veterinarian bit seemed similar to me and our kids have similar issues but never medicated (and never will be). He did vision therapy and all kinds of things. Then the drugs.

Almost same exact scenario and timeline for me. Who were his docs? ANy chance he was exposed to MKU?
Dr Kreisman. Sadly he's dead or we would be sueing him for malpractice.
Had to look that up and I don't think so
INteressting. I wonder when the APA push began. The shrinks had to get the word out somehow.

He was on dex long enough and at such high doses that there's a real concern about lewy body dementia.
