[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607465, member: 1550"] I actually am alarmed that your psychiatrist would put a drug abuser on stimulants, especially Adderrall, which my daughter told me years ago is very much abused. Often, kids crush it in pillcrushers and snort it either alone or with other drugs. Remember that not all drugs show up on drug screens. If a person abuses Adderrall, it is not going to help ADHD or anything else. I would have to question the psychiatrist's wisdom here. ADHD is not helped if the person is also using recreational drugs and I personally question the use of Adderrall at all. It has a very high street value. All the ADHD stims do, but Adderrall is the one that drug abusers like the most. Was he taking more than just Adderrall? That also happens. If it were me, knowing what I do now, I'd treat the drug addiction first and be very careful about encouraging difficult child to take any other medication for the moment. NONE of it will help him unless he is clean aside from the prescription drugs. That includes pot and alcohol. I am so sorry you are going through this. I can relate to the Adderrall mess all too well. When I read about it, it is like yesterday. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
