[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 14873, member: 1550"] Doctors HAVE to be careful with amphetamines. They have no choice; these are hot drugs on the streets. When my now 22 year old abused drugs, the main drug of choice for her and her friends was Adderrall (other ADHD drugs were used, but they liked Adderrall the most). She says it went for $10/pill. The teens would crush it in pillcrushers and snort it, either alone or with other drugs. She became quite addicted to it. I know it's a pain to have to refill these scripts in such a careful way, but this is the reason why. Heck, my friend works as a disabilities social worker--many PARENTS take their kid's Ritalin and use it to get high, never giving it to the kids. Antipsychotics have no street value--there is no "high" attached to them and they are not abused, so they don't worry about them as much. I know this doesn't help, but maybe you can understand the rules a little better. They even have some OTC drugs that you have to sign for these days. Kids abuse some of them too. Ephedrine (could be spelled wrong) comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
