-Caveat Lector- The point of my post which perhaps i did not make clear was not so much the side effects but the claim by Smith Klein glaxo that this drug is not habit forming ...It is.... Also any side effects which cause people to change their personalities should not be allowed onto the market untill they have been properly tested in this case they were tested and the results which, they tried to hide amongst masses of paperwork, were deemed unacceptable by an independent doctor. Besides this do we really want kids to start taking these mind altering drugs when things dont go right for them...it is part of lifes experience these ups and downs i had them we have all had them that is why we have parents and friends to talk them through not to have pills offered to us as a quick solution.
