[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 322681, member: 7371"] I agree with MWM & others that asking for Adderal by name is a big red flag. If you decide to have her evaluated, make sure you let the doctor know about her request, about the fact that she took someone else's Adderal, and about her history with drugs. Also, be careful about the doctor you choose -- look for a psychiatrist who specializes in treating adolescents. A good doctor is unlikely to prescribe medications on the first visit. We went through a great deal of evaluation and testing before we got to that point. ADHD medications really can help kids who truly have that condition (they have helped my difficult child quite a bit), and in fact, kids with ADHD that goes untreated are more likely to abuse drugs. But like other prescription medications, there's also serious potential for abuse. Good luck, and keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
