I'll shame meds all day long because I am pissed off they force fed me them starting at age 7. I was strongly effected by the side effects to the point I truly believe it fucked my brain up a bit, but nobody seemed to care because I was quieter during class. I wasn't given a choice in the matter. I think it's ok to be against meds, and it's ok to be for them. They can do amazing things but they're not a fix all solution for everyone.
I'm not forcing anyone not to take them, and I'm not judging people that do in any way shape or form. I think it's great that it works so well for so many people. I'm still going to voice my concerns because it's important to remember they're not perfect and they aren't the best solution for everyone. I wish someone spoke up for me about that when I was a child and no one was listening to me about the issues I was having with the meds. To me, it's not ok to assume every single person with ADHD will benefit from meds. Especially children.
