"Very Helpful" according to Columbia Grad. At last, a book that explains both the pros and cons of amphetamine use in a way that's both interesting and easy to understand. For anyone with ADHD or who's considering the use of psychostimulant drugs, this book is very helpful.. "Extremely informative and well-written" according to Concerned mom.

This book informatively presented both sides of the argument in favor of and against the use of amphetamines to treat ADHD. A great read for any mother out there trying to get more information. "Great book" according to Ehatcher. A fascinating read for anyone who wants to learn more about amphetamines. The author has carefully shown many sides of the story from ethical, medical and political standpoints. If you or someone close to you is on these drugs, this will give you a very well rounded perspective.
