NEED A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

[Skiing77]

I'm a 68yo disabled Vietnam vet and how lucky I have the VA they've been good to me. Now if I could stop falling with my CEREBRAL ATAXIA. I been doing some studian on RITALIN for different reasons 1. I keep falling asleep no matter the time of day. 2. I have had ADH

D before they knew what it was. 3. Studies have shown that older people (elderly) could be diagnosed with ADHD. 4. It has been reported the the drug RITALIN has helped with improved BALANCE but doesn't work with ADDERALL just RITALIN. My question is, if any of you are prescribed RITALIN and has it helped with all of the above. Please share any information if you have. Stay strong an thank you...

These were both sent from my son.

He is not a doctor but a student of genetics, and there is still a lot for him to learn. He has ADHD himself and was trying to better understand some of the basics of what seems to be happening to patients suffering from ADHD and/or anxiety disorders (according to him, these videos also helped him make sense of why mixing barbiturates and alcohol can be deadly, and why epilepsy presents itself in the way that it does).

He said that these videos might help explain a bit on why you’ve been experiencing what you have been whilst on “Methylphenidate HCl” (more often called by the trade name "Ritalin"), and this not being the case whilst on Adderall.
