[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 322651, member: 1550"] Just a warning. it is incredibly easy to fake ADHD and even easier, unfortunately, to get doctors to prescribe stimulants. That she asked up front for Adderrall is worrying to me. Her problems aren't going to go away because of any pill and Adderrall is the one most widely coveted by drug addicts/users. You probably don't know the full extent of her drug use. My guess is it went beyond marijuana and that she is still using. I feel this is true due to my unfortuante experiences. Of course, all kids are different. Has she shown a willingness to change? Why won't she try Straterra? It is not abused. It's an antidepressant. I'd be very concerned if this was my daughter after what I learned about the ADHD medications and teens who use them wrong. Do you REALLY trust her to ONLY take it to help her focus? When I tried Ritalin it acted like Speed. It doesn't calm down most people. You have to honestly, truly have ADHD with no mood disorder, and there is no way to prove it. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you good luck. [/QUOTE]
