[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 635417, member: 1550"] Hi there. Does he usually take his medication all the time? Is he better when he takes it? Does he take other drugs or drink because that will effectively wipe out the benefits of the prescription drugs. May even give him a higher high if he's taking an antidepressant and then takes other drugs. ADHD medication are very abused on the streets. My daughter and her friends used to fake ADHD or steal them from anyone in their house who took them, crush them in a pillcrusher and snort them both alone and with cocaine and other drugs. I am not sure I'd feel comfortable giving any adult child who abuses drugs any access to medication that is so abused on the streets. He's not little anymore and you can't control if he sells it or takes it like my daughter did. Do you really trust his girlfriend? I always think the women who choose my son (he's my loan remaining difficult child) have to be messed up themselves. i know that's horrible...I realize that...but it is also true. His wife was actually worse than him and the girlfriends he has had since his divorce were not the cream of the crop, so to speak. Before I'd give him anything, I'd call the doctor's office. First you'll need your son to sign a waiver saying you can have billing information. Make sure he does that.Then I'd discuss this bill with the office directly to see if your son even has a bill or if he even showed up for an appointment. difficult children are Manipulations R Us. it's always best to check things out before doing any favors. He may want those ADHD medications for more than his ADHD. I know it's really hard and it takes time to learn, but you asked for advice. Mine is to do nothing, but, if you are moved to help, make darn sure he is telling you the truth. FYI, the most abused ADHD drug is Adderrall (my daughter, when she used, used to get $10/pill for it).
