[QUOTE="maril, post: 321570, member: 5937"] Hello, clive. The fact that she is specifically asking for Adderall is concerning, in that, it's sought (as MWM gives info) out for illegal use. My son is presently substance-free (tested regularly), has recently been reevaluated and ADHD continues to be a diagnosis. He has an appointment coming up to see about medications; however, in the recent testing and evaluation results, it was noted prescription medications, particularly stimulants, will have to be closely monitored, due to his history of substance use (something we knew, the professionals reinforced it). He also has named Adderall (did not tolerate it well in the past when prescribed to him) as a medication he would like to try again, and I reminded him of the side effects he had from it in the past; as well, I once again reminded him that I know it's a drug that's sought for illegal use. In my opinion, if she is clean, maybe reevaluation would be a good thing, and then if diagnosed with ADHD, proceed carefully from there, as far as medications go. Also, I realize she is 18 and lives away from home, but she is asking for your help and support and that is positive. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
