[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 576825, member: 1550"] Good God, did you know how badly Adderrall is abused???? Bet he can't find it because he and his friends used it up. My daughter, who was once a drug addict, told me that they crush Adderrall (which is highly coveted on the streets) in a pillcrusher then snort it either alone or with other drugs, particularly coke. I'm shocked your son's psychiatrist gave him a script for that, ADHD or not. My guess is your son is depressed and missing money because he's buying booze and drugs and, with that, goes selling his items hot for drugs (and possibly cigarettes)...my daughter did all this when she was using and explained it all after she quit. She was also diagnosed with bipolar when she was using drugs, but now that she isn't, she most obviously does not have bipolar. The drugs just made her act like she did. Off the drugs, she is a totally different, highly functional person. You'd be amazed... I think you are doing an amazing job at resisting. Nobody can do it all, but you are doing a fairly good job, especially since you are just starting. Never give him money. If he says he's hungry, buy him some food, if you want. All money will probably go to drugs or booze (which is a drug). What he really needs is to admit himself to a mental health facility with an emphasis on drug/booze rehab. You can't help him with that. Seriously, if he were THAT depressed, rather than desperate for drugs, he wouldn't want to socialize and would not have his "friends" over for a gathering. He has it pretty good with you guys picking up his bills and him sometimes blowing money you put in his account for necessities. Keep it up!
