[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 349320, member: 3444"] What I've read (and I can't quote the source off the top of my head) is that the dosages Rx'd for stims with ADHD are too low to cause addiction. And yes, there are reports that show that the risk for addiction is GREATER if you DON'T treat the ADHD because of the novelty-seeking behaviors (not unlike a manic bipolar). My difficult child 1 is MUCH less aggressive and oppositional when he takes his stimulant medication. Everything is much more even, including mood. It's like night and day. [/QUOTE]
